This bore fits the mating shaft
A Drafter-drawn sheet of the mounting bracket: the bore called out as diameter 25 +0.15/-0 THRU with datum A, and the 8X diameter 5 bolt pattern with a position tolerance.

Drafter turns design intent into standardized drawings.

Set the intent on your model and hand off the drafting. Drafter tolerances the critical features, places datums and callouts, and returns a standardized ASME Y14.5-2018 drawing for every part, in minutes.

Audit log · us-gov-west-1
A live workspace audit log: sessions, drawing opens, and encrypted syncs are recorded; an export requested outside the workspace is blocked by policy; the audit record is written in AWS GovCloud, and nothing is sent to third parties.

Engineered for organizations where security is non-negotiable.

From day one, Drafter was designed for organizations with the highest security requirements. Every workspace runs in isolated AWS GovCloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade access controls. Private-cloud deployments are also available, so your intellectual property stays private and under your control.

Drafter is really fast. It helps us move at the speed we need. The 7 drawings I made last week would've taken me one and a half days. With Drafter, it took 30 minutes.
