Draft IT PRO4.0.22

Draft IT PRO is a comprehensive and intuitive tool designed to offer a complete method of creating CAD projects using a wide range of draw, modification and annotation tools. Some of the featured elements are various geometrical shapes, symbols and images, along with the option to divide lines into arcs, fill areas with particular colors and create angles and snap points.The app provides a well-organized yet complex interface that might put novices in difficulty, but with a bit of time, it can be easily mastered. It comes with a ribbon menu, an editor, layout and properties explorer. However, in order to properly use it, basic knowledge is required.

Set up the optimal paper dimension and enter various shapes

You can make a new drawing from scratch or open an existing CAD file from the computer for further editing. The tool lets you change the page size from the settings tab, either choosing from preset sizes or manually input the desired dimension.You have the choice to add lines, arcs, geometrical shapes, construct horizontal and angular lines, as well as rectangular arrays, fill in a closed area with a solid color or a pattern, and insert guide points. Plus, you can move, rotate, stretch and scale individual elements, but to do so, you first have to select them.

Add text, particular dimensions, chamfers and fillets

It's possible to enter chamfer elements, which are transitional edges between two faces of an object, along with fillets, which represents the rounding of an interior or exterior corner of an item. In addition, text can be inserted with different types, sizes and colors, and positioned to any location within the design.Another useful feature is the ability to add linear, chain, multi-point, angular and radial dimensions, which can be made of arrows or dots, have a particular color, length, offset, prefix and line extension values. The app supports multiple opened files, making it easier to edit them. The output is saved in DFT file format.

Bottom line

All in all, Draft IT PRO is an intuitive yet sophisticated utility that comes in handy for those who want to create complex CAD drawings, containing multiple geometric elements, angles and images. During our testing, the app ran without problems and smoothly.
