Field notes

The workflow starts with a STEP file rather than manual drafting: users open the model, aim it, and generate sheets. Design drawings cover exterior views, broken lines, selected claimed areas, and Letter or A4 layouts, while utility figures add sections and geometry-based descriptions. The homepage lists PDF, PNG, ZIP, or SVG exports depending on the mode and cautions that every drawing remains a draft requiring review before filing.
