Common questions before testing DraftyBot.
Clear answers about what DraftyBot does, where it is useful, and how to treat the generated output.
Is DraftyBot a CAD replacement?
No. DraftyBot is a drafting assistant for generating DXF starting points. You still review and refine the drawing in your normal CAD, engineering, or workshop process.
What drawings work best?
It works best for geometry-led DXF tasks such as plates, backplates, operator panels, door cut-outs, mounting holes, slots, and repeated hole patterns.
Can I export DXF?
Yes. The main workflow is designed around generating a DXF-style starting point that can continue through your normal CAD review process.
What should I include in my prompt?
Include overall size, units, hole sizes, quantities, offsets, cut-out dimensions, spacing rules, and any repeated features.
Can I use it for manufacturing drawings?
Use it as a starting point only. Always review the output in your normal CAD, engineering, or workshop approval process before manufacture.
Can you build a custom CAD automation tool for my business?
Yes. If your business repeats similar drawings, we can discuss a custom DXF, BOM, layout, or workflow automation tool.
Does it support complex assemblies?
DraftyBot is strongest for practical 2D geometry. Complex assemblies, detailed engineering checks, and final issue drawings still need proper CAD and engineering review.
Do I need CAD experience?
Basic drawing understanding helps. You should know the dimensions and features you want, then use DraftyBot to create the starting geometry faster.
