Features
The complete drawing, from STEP to DXF.
Cotio recognises the part geometry and applies the rules of technical drawing. Here is what it does for you, and what stays in your hands.
01
Reading and recognition
- STEP AP203 / AP214, single part or assembly (one drawing per part, quantities grouped)
- Automatic orientation: largest dimension along the length, origin at the corner
- Through and blind holes, regular patterns, holes on inclined faces
- Sheet metal: thickness, bends, angles, inside radii
- Turned parts: step diameters and lengths, axial bore
- Material and density read from the STEP file or from your materials table
02
Automatic drawing layout
- Choice of sheet size (A4 to A2) and the most legible standard scale
- First-angle or third-angle projection
- Automatic section A-A for bent sheet-metal and drilled parts
- Overall, thickness, diameter and position dimensions
- Hole labels and hole table grouped by pattern
- Title block in your colours: logo, fields, drawn / checked by, revision index, date
- Drawing language: French, English, German, Dutch, Spanish
03
Sheet metal and laser cutting
- Flat pattern calculated on the neutral fibre with your K-factor per material and thickness
- Bend lines, angles and radii, dimensions between bends
- 1:1 scale cutting DXF, layers named for your cutting software
- Warning if the 3D radius differs from your tooling radius
04
Editor and checking
- Add horizontal, vertical or aligned dimensions with snapping to vertices
- Move views together with their dimensions, labels and text
- Edit the title block, notes and hole table
- Revision table: index, date, reason
- Undo / redo, automatic saving
- Points to check listed after each generation
05
Company settings
- 10-minute setup wizard at first launch, settings exportable to your other workstations
- Title block, logo, contact details, proprietary notice
- Materials table (density, finish) and bend table (K-factor, radius)
- Sheet sizes, scales, decimals, separator, tolerances, notes
- File names and DXF layers
- Customer profiles: name, revision index, sheet size, language, notes
