DraftX automates the slow, error-prone work between design release and the shop floor — validated job packs, batch PDF & DXF export, AI drawing sorting, QC reporting and Lantek-ready nesting.
DraftX walks every user through the same proven workflow — new starters can't take a wrong turn.
Point DraftX at your SolidWorks assembly. It scans every part, validates parameters and flags missing data before anything is exported.
Every drawing exported to PDF and every flat pattern to DXF in one run — named, stamped and filed to your conventions.
Drawings are classified by operation — laser, folding, fabrication, bought-out — with a review queue for anything uncertain.
QC gates confirm the job is complete, job cards print, and nest-ready DXFs flow to Lantek with NestX.
Captured from a live production job — a 1600×600 de-stoner, 105 parts, assembly to nest-ready in one sitting.
DraftX measures itself. Every export, sort, stamp and print is logged against a time-study benchmark, so the Analytics dashboard shows exactly what the software is worth — in hours and in pounds, at your hourly rate.
Scans the full assembly, checks part parameters per company conventions and produces a part-by-part readiness report before export.
One click exports every drawing and flat pattern in the job — consistently named, stamped with units and filed automatically.
Classifies drawings by manufacturing operation with your own categories. Uncertain calls go to a visual review queue, never silently wrong.
CAD-grade snapping, measuring and editing for quick flat-pattern fixes — with hand-edits protected from being overwritten by re-exports.
A pipeline checklist proves every job pack ran, every file exported and every drawing sorted — before anything reaches the shop floor.
Prepares nest-ready jobs for Lantek directly from sorted DXFs — material, thickness and quantities included.
Auto-generated job cards and one-click batch printing of full drawing sets, grouped by operation.
Hours and pounds saved per job, per user and per week — the ROI report your MD wants, generated automatically.
Tabs unlock as each workflow step completes, with a clear "next step" prompt — new users are productive on day one.
Full access for your team, on your drawings, with your conventions. No card, no commitment — and your data stays exactly where it is if you decide not to continue.
DraftX runs locally against your SolidWorks installation and network folders. Drawings, models and job data never leave your network.
Windows desktop app. Requires SolidWorks on the machine for export features. No server to host, no database to manage.
Machine-bound keys validated against our license service over HTTPS — the only outbound connection — with a 72-hour offline grace period.
