CLAIRVYN CAD Open Clairvyn CAD

Drawings: from the model to the sheet.

Views, sizes, tolerances, hole tables, parts lists, bend and weld tables, straight from the model and set out to ISO, ASME or BIS. Send the sheets out as PDF, DXF or DWG, with an inspection report for the shop.

Open Clairvyn CAD Watch a real sheet plot

A real sheet, plotted in type.

This is the base plate sheet from Clairvyn CAD, traced from its own pixels and plotted the way a pen plotter would: the black pen draws the frame and the part, the red pen the sizes, the hole table and the tolerance frames. Drag the carriage anywhere on the sheet and the loupe shows the real drawing under it.

  • ViewsFront, projected, auxiliary, section, half section, detail, broken-out, crop, iso
  • SizesLinear, ordinate, baseline, chain, radius, diameter, angle, arc length, auto dimension
  • CalloutsGD&T frames, datums, finish, hole tables and callouts, chamfers, notes
  • SheetsA and ANSI sizes, first or third angle, title blocks, revisions
ISO, FIRST ANGLE, MMPEN 1X 0.0 MM (0.00 IN) Y 0.0 MM (0.00 IN)

Sizes in mm, in inches, or both.

Sizes snap to the model's own edges and holes. Pick mm or inches, decimals or fractions, or show both on one size. Holes and threads get their callouts; a revision gets its cloud, its triangle and a line in the table.

Parts lists, bends and welds.

Balloon every part in one go and add the parts list. Unfold sheet metal and the bend table lists every bend with its direction, angle, inner radius and allowance. Welds keep their symbols and land in a weld table; moving parts can show a second position.

Tolerances that live on the model.

Put datums, sizes, GD&T frames and surface finish on the 3D model itself. Each one is bound to the faces it controls, so it moves with them, shows up in the views you save and goes out with the STEP file.

The check reads it before the shop does.

A GD&T check against ASME Y14.5-2018 in Clairvyn CAD: no errors and one warningA GD&T check against ASME Y14.5-2018 in Clairvyn CAD: no errors and one warning

Run the check against ASME Y14.5 or ISO GPS. It reads every frame and datum and says, in plain words, what a checker with a red pen would: a datum without a form tolerance, an annotation whose face has gone.

Out to the shop floor.

Every requirement becomes a numbered line of the inspection plan, ready for the first article report. Stack the sizes up before anything is cut. Export the sheets as PDF, SVG, DXF or DWG, one sheet or all of them.
