2D drawing · On quotation

Your sketch, redrawn cleanly as an AutoCAD drawing.

From a dimensioned sketch, paper drawing or legible PDF, prepare a 2D drawing request with the dimensions and deliverables your project needs.

Illustration of a sketch and its 2D drawing
Illustration of the proposed transformation.

Prepare the drawing information.

A reliable drawing starts with a usable source. To scope your request, gather:

  • The most legible sketch, photo or PDF possible, with the levels concerned.
  • The available dimensions, units and at least one reference dimension.
  • The number of drawings, desired changes and intended use.
  • The elements to show: walls, openings, dimensions, text or title block.

Hide confidential information if it is not needed for the first exchange.

From source document to deliverable.

  1. Source review: identify legible dimensions and missing information.
  2. Scoping: specify the number of drawings, layers, formats, timeframe and revisions in the quotation.
  3. Clean redraw: reproduce the agreed elements and flag points to clarify.
  4. Check: compare the reference dimensions and legibility of the drawing with the documents supplied.

To agree in the quotation: editable DWG file, PDF export, version and content. A missing or ambiguous dimension must be clarified; it must not be inferred as a certain measurement.

Before requesting the quotation

A clear photo of a dimensioned sketch and one sentence describing the expected result are enough to start the exchange. The price, timeframe and revisions are set according to the project.
