Production-Ready 2D CAD
Built for Fabrication Shops
A full drafting environment for sheet metal and machined parts — with bend allowances, true-shape nesting, and DXF that lands clean on your laser. Runs in any browser. No installs, no licenses to chase.
Every drafting tool you'd reach for. Nothing you wouldn't.
Phase one ships the complete drafting environment: 12 drawing primitives, 12 modify operations, 13 snap modes, ISO and ASME dimensioning, GD&T, AWS welding symbols, and full layer management. Built so a drafter coming from AutoCAD or DraftSight can start working in under five minutes.
Line
Click-to-click, continuous, infinite, ray, with absolute/relative/polar input.
Polyline
Lines + arcs in one entity. Variable width. Switch modes mid-draw.
Rectangle
Corner-corner, center-corner, 3-point. Chamfer/fillet/rotation built in.
Circle
6 modes: center+R, 2-point, 3-point, TTR, TTT, diameter.
Arc
11 construction modes — start-center-end, tangent continuation, chord length, included angle.
Ellipse
Center+axes, axis endpoint, elliptical arc with start/end angles.
Polygon
3 to 1024 sides. Inscribed, circumscribed, edge-defined.
Spline / NURBS
Fit points or control points, degree 2–10, periodic closure.
Point
8 display styles. Divide and Measure place points along entities.
Hatch & Fill
20+ ANSI patterns, gradients, island detection, associative.
Text & MText
Engineering fonts. Stack fractions, ⌀ ° ± symbols, columns, masks.
Blocks
Reusable symbols with attributes, nested blocks, dynamic states.
From flat pattern to nested DXF in one tool.
The sheet-metal pipeline most shops cobble together from three programs and a spreadsheet, built natively. Bend tables, K-factor presets, corner relief, true-shape nesting, weight estimates — all generated from the geometry, in real time.

Layer system that scales to a 14-floor structural set.
Visibility, freeze, lock, color, line type, line weight, transparency, plot/no-plot, and per-viewport overrides. Save named layer states to flip between construction, print, and fabrication views in one click.
Drawings that pass inspection the first time.
Linear, aligned, baseline, continued, ordinate, jogged. Radius, diameter, arc length. Angular by two lines or three points. Tolerances, dual units, GD&T feature control frames per ASME Y14.5.
DXF that lands on the laser without surprises.
Eight DXF versions from R12 to 2018+. Spline-to-polyline conversion at configurable tolerance for CNC compatibility. Layer mapping, font substitution, gap healing, unused-block purge — the things you used to do manually after every export.

Round-trip DWG support via OpenDesign Alliance — open it, edit it, save it back without data loss.
Built for the drawings you actually work on.
Most browser CAD tools fall over at a thousand entities. We built a renderer that doesn't.
Per-seat. Predictable. No license servers.
Annual billing saves 20%. Free Pro tier for verified students and educators. Regional pricing for India, SE Asia, LATAM, Africa.
Stop fighting your CAD tool.
