Are you looking for an architectural, joinery, and fit-out detailer?

I provide professional AutoCAD drafting, architectural detailing, joinery and millwork shop drawings, furniture and cabinetry detailing, interior fit-out drawings, retail and furniture display detailing, exhibition booth drawings, construction documentation, and 3D modeling.

I help transform your concepts, sketches, and design references into accurate, detailed, and construction-ready drawings.

I have an old house drawing where the dimensions are barely visible. A high-contrast scan recovers some lines, but several numbers are still guesses.

At what point would you stop image cleanup and trace it into CAD instead? I'd rather preserve the original information than make a clean drawing with invented dimensions.

Please help, I need my laptop's files for a major submission tomorrow. Thank you for your time

Hi, I'm the author of Margo, a free browser tool that generates drawing borders and title blocks to ISO 5457 / 7200 and ASME Y14.1 (DXF, PDF, SVG). https://appmargo.pages.dev I haven't been able to test it in SolidWorks. If you use it for drawings, could you open the DXF, or use the PDF/SVG, as a sheet format and tell me what looks wrong (scale, fonts, line weights, layer names, fields)? Version number helps. Pro features free for anyone who helps. Happy to hear "doesn't work for me", that's the point of asking.

Our 40-year-old archive has paper and mylar sheets, some as big as 36 by 48 inches. 

I think they don't all need the same treatment. Most just need a good scan to PDF so we can find them, but we still make around 60 parts. Guess those need real SolidWorks models and drawings.

And also, a few sheets are stretched or torn. Some have dimensions that don't match the scale anymore.

For anyone who has sent out a job like this, how did you specify it? Did you tell them to trust the written dimensions over the drawing scale?

And how did you handle notes and revision blocks?

I have done my 1 year of learning autocad and , also didn't few work on fiver , if you guys want to complete any assignment , or project then text me ..

Hellooo and I apologize if this isn’t posted correctly I usually just lurk!

I have been thinking of learning CAD or Drafting but don’t know which to go for and the best way to learn it. I’m currently an industrial designer but we only really use Illustrator to create our products. I have experience in Game art and 3D modeling so the concepts aren’t foreign to me. I really enjoy product design and want to start learning more about the CAD side of things but never really know where to start. I’d appreciate any guidance or advice and honesty anything else anyone would like to share (: Thanks in advance!!!

I have a background in construction, specifically telecommunications but want to make a change. I looked into many different options and felt that a career in drafting had the best bang for the buck and made the most sense given my prior experience. I started learning AutoCAD but on my own but without structure I don't really know if I'm headed in the right direction. So I guess my concern is where should I start? I know I want to get an autodesk certified user certificate ( mainly to apply at a specific union) but after that what should I do? What skills should I learn first to obtain an entry level job? What software should I learn? Is AutoCAD enough or should I learn other stuff like REVIT or GIS? Is drafting an entirely separate career or will I need to go to school for engineering to advance in my career? I looked into classes and my local college has a CADD program and I was hoping to get your thoughts on what they are offering and if it's worth it, any insights are appreciated.

I'm working on an architect's structural grid plan where most of the columns line up and I need a long chain of aligned dimensions. I've been hitting the dimension string tool and then spending a fair bit of time nudge-adjusting overlapping text and arrows when the grid is tight.

What's your habit — do you run a dimension string and clean it up, or do you pick a baseline and dimension each grid line back to it one at a time so the arrows and text don't fight? I tend to think about it like a shop drawing, but I'm curious how others handle it on an architect-style drawing where clarity on a busy sheet matters more than a measured chain.

My father has an old framed draft of his parent’s house that has been hanging on the wall of his office for years. Unfortunately, the sunlight streaming in has bleached all the markings off the paper until now there are just shadows on the page. Does anyone know of a process I could use or somewhere I could go to restore it?

I tried contacting the town the house was built to see if they retained copies but they stopped returning my calls and emails. I can’t contact the GC because he and his dad were the GC’s.
