With AutoDRAW you can automatically create drawings for Autodesk Inventor parts and assemblies based on predefined view layouts. You can set up any number of View Layouts and they can be assigned to different model types or categories so that the drawings are created specifically the way you want.

AutoDRAW is not just a drawing creator but its also a drawing manager. Once you have scanned the assembly, it will be clear to you which models do not have drawings created yet or if the existing drawings are outdated. From there you can generate / update the drawings easily. AutoDRAW also has the ability to insert QR codes onto your drawings. You can configure the content of the QR codes. Reference tables are also useful to add to your model drawings as it makes it clear where the model is used or referenced. Very useful for tracking and tracing. Once everything is ready AutoDRAW can help process the design by exporting or printing your files.

As part of the Post-Processing functions built into AutoDRAW, you can export models and drawings to the following formats: PDF (individual or combined into one PDF), DWG, DXF, STEP and DWFx. Before exporting you have full control over file naming and various properties can be used to automatically name the exported files as they are created. 

AutoDRAW can now also create a single Sheet Metal flat pattern drawing for CNC / cutting processes.
