🏗️ Support Drawing Generator
Turn your support lists into standardized drawings — automatically.
Engineering projects often require hundreds of pipe supports, each conforming to internal company standards. Traditionally, generating fabrication-ready drawings for each support is time-consuming and error-prone.
Support Sketch changes that.
It reads support data from Excel or CSV files — exported from any 3D modeling system — and produces consistent, high-quality support drawings that match your predefined templates and BOM standards.
🔩 Steel Insight Studio
Turn “dumb” 3D solids into standard steel — automatically.
Most plant and structural models contain vendor or legacy solids with no section data. Manually figuring out the shape, picking the closest catalog size, and computing lengths and weights is slow and error-prone.
Steel Insight Studio recognizes steel profiles directly in AutoCAD, matches them to your catalog, calculates properties (length, weight, centerline), and can generate annotated shop drawings in one click.

📂 Batch Processing: Generate hundreds of drawings in just a few clicks.
🔩Key Features
-
✅ Profile Recognition + Catalog Match: Identifies W/I-beam, channel, angle, pipe/tube, tee, plate/flat bar and maps to AISC/ASTM, EN/DIN, BS, JIS, etc., with project-level filters.
-
⚖️ Accurate Properties: Computes section size, length, weight/mass, area, CG; switch metric/imperial and everything updates instantly.
-
👁️ Property & Annotation Preview: Pick a solid to see the matched profile and key properties; live preview of the annotation you’ll place.
-
🧩 Customizable Annotations: Token-based templates—add/remove fields, reorder lines—what you preview is exactly what gets placed.
-
🗺️ Template-Driven Shop Drawings: Paper size, grids, views, BOM, and dimension rules generate consistent sheets in one click.
-
📄 DWG / PDF Output: Export per-sheet DWG and publish PDFs to your configured output folder for a clean handoff.
-
🛠️ Shared Configuration: Units, catalogs, annotation formats, and drawing templates align with (and can be shared by) Support Sketch.
