PDF Drawing Auto-Ballooning Software
Enjoy lightning-fast, fully-automated PDF drawing reading and ballooning. Balloon a drawing, and extract Notes, GD&T, Features of Size, Sheet and Zone to a Quality Control Plan with just a few clicks. Import CMM data and generate FAI reports in minutes, Save hundreds of man-hours of time each year.
SAVE HOURS OF BALLOONING TIME
POWERFUL IMAGE PROCESSING
1factory's powerful image processing algorithm automatically recognizes and distinguishes dimensions from drawing views and sections. 1factory's algorithm identifies and boxes Notes, threads, GD&T (position, parallelism, angularity, perpendicularity, surface profile etc.), and features of size (linear dimensions, diameters, radii etc.).
The user can then choose to auto-balloon the whole drawing, or point-and-click to manually balloon only the critical dimensions. Both automated and point-and-click ballooning processes extract the characteristic, nominal, tolerances, sheet & zone to the QC Plan.
