The Machine Design Handbook for CADKEY®

Created by Mechanical Designers, DRAFT-PAK dramatically accelerates routine design and drafting operations and reduces the burden associated with tight deadlines and short design cycles. It’s like having a Machine Design Handbook in your computer! DRAFT-PAK is an affordable, automated mechanical design and drafting package that’s integrated within CADKEY and enables you to quickly generate drawings, standardize your design process, shorten your design cycle and eliminate costly errors.

DRAFT-PAK will help you...
Reduce the stress caused by frequent changes, drawing errors, short design cycles, and tight deadlines.
Play an active role in the design and efficiency of your department.
Reap the rewards of hitting your deadlines easier and faster.
Achieve higher productivity and consistency.
Streamline your entire design process methodology.

Dynamic, WYSIWYG Interface

DRAFT-PAK functions implement an easy-to-use, real-time WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface that lets you see what you’re creating or editing. Immediate visual feedback instantly verifies any operation, whether changing a fastener size or editing a GD&T symbol.

Dynamic Move/Edit

Real-time, dynamic capabilities make drawing changes a snap. Labels, balloons, GD&T feature control blocks, and other DRAFT-PAK entities can be picked up and dragged to new locations or dynamically edited to change text, values, or symbology. The WYSIWYG editing eliminates any reconstruction, deletion, or movement of individual text, leaders, or geometry of a dimension.
