Manufacturing industry is on the cusp of transformation and CAD drafting techniques can help manufacturers stay on track with the new trends. As the transformation dawns, challenges like the need to maintain uniformity, stricter regulations, and focus on environmental friendliness increase.




At this juncture, precision CAD drawings are the only savior for manufacturers and fabricators on the shop floor. The ability of CAD drawings to be saved in different file formats like .dwg, DXL, and STEP/IGES and others allow cross-data exchange from one CAD tool to another.



Furthermore, as CAD drafters specify GD&Ts, detailing and manufacturing information in drawings they make uninterrupted manufacturing possible. Today, CAD design and drafting support companies like Hitech also use automation tools and CAD macros to automate drawing customization using logical scripts. It creates shop drawings and fabrication drawings along with assembly and installation instructions automatically.




They reduce ECNs and keep the record drawings intact in digital format. This makes product designing and enhancement in the future an easy task for the researcher. All in all, detailed CAD drawings not only bring precision but also innovate for the future.
