Users can easily annotate and dimension their drawings, facilitating clear communication among team members. Integrated with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Drafter allows for easy sharing and access to drawings from any device, enhancing collaboration. This streamlined approach reduces the time and cost associated with the design-to-manufacturing process, optimizing workflows and allowing teams to focus on creativity and innovation. Ultimately, Drafter is an invaluable asset for design and engineering teams.

Overview

Connected to the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, Drafter is a Windows-based application that rapidly derives 2D drawings from your 3D models. One of its standout features is the ability to update drawings instantly whenever modifications are made to the 3D design. With Drafter’s comprehensive, production-quality drawing and detailing capabilities, designers and engineers can easily annotate and add dimensions to their drawings. Plus, with data saved to the cloud, sharing drawings in real time has never been easier.

Key Features

Fully Associative 2D Drawings:

Drafter ensures that every 2D drawing is dynamically linked to its corresponding 3D model. This powerful integration means that any adjustments made to the 3D design—whether minor tweaks or significant overhauls—are automatically reflected in the associated 2D drawings. Your documentation is always accurate, reducing the risk of errors and discrepancies.

Efficient Design Communication:

Clear communication is essential in manufacturing. Drafter provides intuitive tools to apply dimensions, annotations, and cross-sections to your drawings. This functionality helps convey complex manufacturing requirements in a straightforward manner, facilitating better understanding among team members and stakeholders.

Accelerated Product Development:
