A SOLIDWORKS PLUG-INEST. 2026 · FOR THE FIRST 80%

The first draft
shouldn’t take
all afternoon.

First Draft sits inside SolidWorks and produces 2D drawings the way a careful drafter would: views, dimensions, tolerances, title block. Ready for you to refine, not redo.

RUN TIME
2–3min.

INPUT · .SLDPRT3D part
3D part rendered in SolidWorks

OUTPUT · .SLDDRW● editable
2D engineering drawing produced by First Draft
An editable .SLDDRW with views, dimensions, and tolerances placed for you.

The method, in four movements.

I.

It reads.

The part features and geometry of your SLDPRT file. Down to the last fillet.

II.

It chooses.

Views and sections. The choices a careful drafter would make on paper, made before the kettle boils.

III.

It drafts.

Dimensions placed and arranged logically, setting you up for success.

IV.

You refine.

Native SolidWorks output. Nudge anything. You ship the sheet that has your name on it.

The team.
