One sentence. One finished drawing.

Describe the sheet you want and CADABRA does the whole sequence: views, sections, dimensions, title block, BOM, balloons. No dialog boxes in between.

The instruction is the whole workflow.

Creating a drawing by hand is a chain of separate decisions: new sheet, pick the format, place the views, scale them, section the part, dimension it, call out the holes, fill the title block, export.

You state the outcome once, “make a drawing of this part on our B-size title block with an isometric and a section through the bore”, and CADABRA performs every step in order against your configured standards.

What you can ask for.

Each of these is a complete instruction.

Make a drawing of this part on our B-size title block: New sheet on your format, views placed and scaled, features dimensioned, title block filled from the model properties.
Add an isometric and a section through the bore: Places the isometric, cuts the section on the right plane, and dimensions the internal geometry it exposes.
Drawings for the whole assembly, BOM ballooned: A sheet per part plus the assembly drawing, each with the BOM inserted and ballooned, saved next to its model.
Same drawing, but to our metric standard on A3: Regenerates the sheet against the other standard you configured, with the dimension style and sheet size that go with it.

What it gets right without being told.

Your standard is already loaded.

Title blocks, sheet sizes, dimension styles, tolerance defaults, and naming conventions are configured once and applied to everything.

Title block populated from model properties.
Sheet size chosen to fit the part at a sensible scale.
House dimension and hole-callout formats applied.

It knows which views describe the part.

View choice comes from the geometry. Features hidden in the principal views get a section view, rather than a fixed three-view template applied to everything.

Sections placed where geometry is otherwise hidden.
Isometric included when it helps the reader.

It finishes the job.

The sheet is dimensioned, and for an assembly the BOM is inserted and ballooned. One native SLDDRW is saved next to the model.

Hole callouts and tolerances applied.
BOM and balloons consistent with each other.

Which plan this is on.

Drawings Mode is on Enterprise. It reads your title block and drawing rules first, so it is set up with you rather than switched on. Everything above happens there.

Questions about text to drawing.

Can I go straight from a prompt to a finished drawing?

Yes. A single prompt such as “make a drawing of this part on our B-size title block with an isometric and a section through the bore” produces the drawing directly. Views, sheet, dimensions and your standard are handled in one pass rather than as separate manual steps.

Will the drawings follow our company standards?

Yes, once you have set a standard up. You upload drawings you have already released and CADABRA extracts your title block fields, projection angle, units, text height and standing notes from them. That standard is then applied to every drawing it generates.

Can it generate drawings for every part in an assembly at once?

Yes. Batch generation runs the whole assembly in a single pass, producing one sheet per unique component plus the assembly drawing, each on your title block with the scale chosen from the geometry.

What kind of prompts actually work?

Concrete, dimensioned, engineering-language prompts work best. Examples: “make the wall 3 mm thicker”, “fillet all sharp edges on this face at 2 mm”, “add a 6 mm counterbored hole pattern on a 40 mm bolt circle”, “pattern this rib eight times around the axis”, “change the material to 6061-T6 and update the mass properties”. Vague prompts such as “make it better” do not resolve to a single operation.

Can CADABRA generate a BOM from a SOLIDWORKS assembly?

BOMs, yes. Drawings Mode builds the bill of materials from the assembly structure and balloons the sheet to match it, using the column set and naming conventions in your drawing standard. There is no RFQ packaging feature; that is something teams still assemble from the drawings and BOM themselves.

How much does CADABRA cost?

CADABRA has a free plan with no card required. Standard is $50/month for 5M credits a month and commercial use by one engineer. Professional is $120/month for 10M credits a month, DFM review, cost estimates and the Ultra and Max reasoning levels. Enterprise is custom priced and is the only plan with Drawings Mode, custom standards, SSO, zero-retention handling and a dedicated engineer. Every paid plan can be billed yearly at 10 times the monthly price. Students pay $20/month on the education plan at cadabrai.com/education.
