Give Adam the source model and the information a fabricator or inspector needs. Drawing creation depends on the CAD application and available tools; Onshape and SOLIDWORKS have dedicated drawing workflows. For other applications or attached files, ask Adam to confirm the authoring and export path first. Working from an uploaded STEP file? Ask for a dimensioned PDF and its generation source. If you need a native drawing document, specify the connected CAD application and have Adam confirm that it can author the required views and annotations there.

Prepare the inputs

Provide the part or assembly and configuration, sheet template if you use one, units, projection convention, and required output formats. Include the material, finish, drawing number, revision, and tolerance policy where known. Geometry defines nominal shape. Functional fits, threads, surface finishes, and tolerance requirements need supplied engineering intent.

Work through a drawing

1

Plan the views and dimensions

Ask Adam to inventory the features and propose views that describe them clearly. Include sections or details for internal or crowded geometry.
2

Create the drawing

Use the agreed sheet, template, projection convention, and scale. Add dimensions tied to the model where supported.
3

Check coverage and layout

Compare the sheet against the model feature by feature. Check dimension values, references, notes, and readability.
4

Deliver the editable drawing and PDF

Export after the final changes and inspect every sheet. Retain a list of missing inputs or unresolved annotations.
Draft a drawing of a mounting plate

Refine a specific area

Make a crowded detail readable

Review the deliverable

Use Drawing review for a separate checking pass before handing the drawing off for approval.
