FEATURES OF DRAFTER

Drafter automatically creates drawing of longitudinal cross-sections and schemas of pipe networks, pipelines and so on. It was developed to work especially with sewage networks, however it can be successfully used for other systems like: water supply, gas or drainage.

Drafter offers help from entering the data of nodes, automatically calculating some values, until a pipe network drawing is generated. The drawing can be modified in most CAD applications or printed directly from Drafter.

Drafter:

  • automatically determines characteristic values (including by calculation, interpolation and autocomplete),
  • allows to create drawings: longitudinal and vertical cross-sections, schemas,
    Generated profile preview
    Longitudinal section sample
    Scheme drawing sample
    Scheme drawing sample
    Cross-section drawing sample

  • generates drawings in the vector format DXF (possibility of further processing in CAD type applications),
  • allows to import of nodes and crossings from DXF files (maps),
    Importing coordinates from DXF files
    Importing coordinates from DXF files
  • allows direct printing generated drawings without any additional software,

  • includes objects, e.g.: septic tanks, manholes, dampers, pipes, with ability to create the own ones,
  • generates pipe networks statistics (excavation volume and area, minimal and maximal: depth and drop, etc.),

  • allows to export of data to applications allowing among other further analysis of flows: Epanet and EPA SWMM,

  • greatly speeds up the creation and modification of drawings,
  • is flexible - has many configuration options.
