Worth noticing
The page accepts STEP or STL files individually or in ZIP, RAR, or 7Z bundles, but says its displayed output is schematic, not generated by the engine.

Field notes

The described workflow covers STEP or STL files, individually or bundled in ZIP, RAR, or 7Z archives; users choose the sheet, standard, views, and title-block details before receiving drawings in PDF, DXF, or SVG. The page says jobs run in a queue and that companies can set defaults once. It also marks the displayed before-and-after as a schematic and says a real generated example has yet to be published.
