# Know you're quoting the drawing that's actually current.

*Title blocks · revisions · BOM · drawing-vs-model*

A drawing package carries its own history — a title block, a BOM, a revision table — and, often, a 3D model that's supposed to match the print. DrawDFM is the Partimation module that reads a drawing package: it pulls all three off the sheet, builds the revision chain so the latest rev isn't a guess, and checks the drawing's callouts against the model's real geometry before a mismatch turns into a bad part.

- **Revision chain** — built automatically from the drawing's own rev table
- **Model comparison** — callouts checked against the model's holes and envelope
- **Title block + BOM** — read into structured fields, not re-typed by hand
- **Confidence scored** — every reconciled value flagged drawing / model / both

## A drawing package has its own history — and it's easy to quote the wrong page of it.

- **The rev you quoted isn't the rev they released** — Revision tables sit in a corner of the sheet, and the chain that says which rev is current isn't always obvious at a glance. Quote off a superseded rev and the mismatch surfaces after the parts are cut.
- **The print and the model disagree, quietly** — When a drawing and a 3D model both exist for a job, nothing stops one holding a dimension the other doesn't — a hole that moved, an envelope that changed — until someone notices on the shop floor.
- **Title blocks and BOM tables, read by eye, every time** — Material, finish, drawing number, sheet count, the parts list — someone re-types it off the sheet into the quote, and every estimator's read is a little different.

## The drawing package, structured — revision, model, and all.

- **Never quote a stale rev — The revision chain, built from the drawing itself** — DrawDFM reads the revision table and builds the chain of supersessions, so the current rev is a fact pulled off the sheet, not a guess from the corner of the title block.
- **Catch it before the shop floor does — Drawing callouts checked against the model's real geometry** — When a 3D model is also on file, Partimation matches drawing callouts — holes, overall envelope, GD&T frames — against the model's actual faces and flags where the two disagree, before the quote goes out.
- **No more re-typing the sheet — Title block and BOM, read into structured fields** — Drawing number, material, finish, sheet count, and the parts list come off the title block and BOM table automatically, confidence-scored like every other read.
- **Every value knows where it came from — Drawing, model, or both — always labeled** — A reconciled value is tagged with its source — drawing, model, or a match between the two — so nothing gets silently accepted; disagreements are flagged for a human to resolve.

## From a drawing package to a reconciled requirements model.

1. **Drop the package** — Upload the drawing — DXF, PDF, scan — and the 3D model if you have one. Multi-sheet packages are read as one job.
2. **Title block, BOM, and revision, parsed** — Drawing number, material, finish, sheet data, the parts list, and the full revision table come back as structured fields.
3. **The revision chain, built** — Partimation orders the revision table into a chain, so the current rev is read off the sheet, not assumed.
4. **Checked against the model** — When a model's on file, its holes, envelope, and GD&T frames are matched against the drawing's callouts, and disagreements are flagged.

EUR and GBP prices exclude VAT, added at checkout where it applies. Early adopters keep their price as the suite grows.

## In the cloud by default. Behind your firewall when it has to be.

- **Cloud — Nothing to install** — Sign in and read a drawing from any browser. We run the compute, ship the updates, and keep your data yours — the shared model only ever learns from your own drawings to calibrate its confidence.
- **On-prem & air-gapped — For drawings that can't leave the building** — Aerospace and anyone holding NDA drawings can run the whole thing on their own hardware. Licenses and updates are signed files — it never phones home, so an air-gapped install stays air-gapped.

**Looking for the broader picture? — Drawings are one entry point into document intelligence.** — For the full picture — GD&T, notes, finish and material requirements, and quoting straight off a print with no model at all — see the [Documents](/documents/) overview, or browse the rest of the suite on the [modules page](/#modules).

## Frequently asked questions

#### How do I know I'm quoting the current revision of a drawing?

The revision table is parsed off the sheet itself and ordered into a supersession chain. The current rev becomes a fact read from the drawing rather than a guess from the corner of the title block, and both the chain and the basis it was ordered on are shown. Quote off a superseded rev and you find out after the parts are cut.

#### What happens when a drawing package spans several sheets?

Multi-sheet packages get merged into one job rather than read as separate parts. The safeguard matters more than the merge: when two sheets disagree on the part number, that disagreement is raised as its own flag instead of one sheet quietly winning. Title block, BOM, and revision data from every sheet land in the same structured record.

#### Does it read the title block and parts list, or do we still re-type them?

Drawing number, material, finish, sheet count, and the parts list come off the title block and BOM table into structured fields. Each value is confidence-scored like every other read, so a smudged material callout shows as a low-confidence field rather than a clean-looking mistake. Nobody re-types the sheet, and two estimators stop reading the same block two ways.

#### How does it check a drawing against the 3D model?

When a drawing and a 3D model both exist for a job, the two get cross-checked on holes, overall envelope, and GD&T frames matched to the model's actual faces. Every reconciled value is tagged with its source — drawing, model, or a match between the two. Where they disagree, the conflict is flagged for a human to resolve rather than merged away.
