Drafter, inside Siemens NX.

Drafter’s 2D drawings stay linked to your NX models in both directions, and every revision is kept under Teamcenter, where it belongs.

A native NX add-in.

It docks beside your model, and every tolerance on the drawing stays in sync with it.

Drawings in minutes, without leaving NX.

Drafter and NX sync both ways, so your models and drawings stay linked.

Drawings released into Teamcenter.

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 4 minutes.

Drafter keeps the link live in both directions: changes in CAD show up instantly in your drawings, and edits in Drafter stay synced with your 3D models.

01

Send from NX

Push the model straight from Siemens NX, without exporting a file or 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. If you use another CAD, tell us and it goes on our build list.
