Siemens NX. Drafter. Integrated.

Streamline your drawing workflow with seamless back-and-forth between 3D and 2D automated drawings, and keep every revision under Teamcenter where it belongs.

Seamlessly integrated in NX.

Drafter’s plugin lives where you work, ensuring every tolerance stays in sync from model to manufacturing.

Drawings in minutes, right where you need them.

With bi-directional sync between Drafter and NX, your models and drawings stay linked, keeping everything connected.

Built for Teamcenter, not bolted onto it.

Teams on NX rarely run NX alone. Drafter works with Teamcenter so the drawings it produces land where your revisions are already governed, instead of in somebody’s local folder. Your PLM stays the system of record.

NX drawings done in just 4 minutes.

Drafter keeps everything linked on all ends: changes in CAD instantly reflect in your drawings, and edits in Drafter stay synced with your 3D models for truly seamless, bidirectional navigation.

01

Send from NX

Push the model straight from Siemens NX. No export, no file shuffling, no leaving the window you are already in.

02

Drafter drafts the sheet

Tolerances, datums and callouts land on a standardized ASME Y14.5-2018 drawing for every part.

03

It comes back linked

The drawing returns to NX as a live link, and to Teamcenter under the revision controls you already run.

Not on Siemens NX?

Drafter also runs natively inside SolidWorks, and reads STEP as a fallback. Not there yet? Tell us and it goes on our build list.
