AutoCAD Shop Drawings & Native 2D/3D Drafting Services
Reviewed by our engineering team · Updated August 2026
What You Get
Native DWG Files, 2D & 3D
Drafted natively in AutoCAD, not exported from another package — clean geometry your team can edit directly.
Layer Standards Matched to You
Layers, line weights and title block matched to your shop's own standard, so a set drops into your existing drawing set unchanged.
Elevations, Plans & Sections
Full elevation, plan and section coverage, cut wherever a reviewer or installer would actually need one.
Dimension & Material Call-outs
Continuous dimension strings and material call-outs consistent with AWI Ed.3 conventions, so a reviewer can redline directly.
Redline-Ready Layer Sets
Separated construction, dimension and annotation layers so markups and revisions don't touch geometry you don't want moved.
PDF Submittal Packages
A matching PDF set bundled with every native DWG delivery, ready to send straight to your GC or architect.
Native AutoCAD, Drafted to the Same AWI Edition 3 Conventions as Everything Else We Deliver.
- General notes sheet states AWI grade, edition and finish standard, matching the same convention across every software output we deliver
- Line weights and layer names follow AWI Ed.3 drafting conventions unless your shop's own standard specifies otherwise
- Dimension strings run continuously from a single reference point per elevation — the same rule we hold across Microvellum and Cabinet Vision sets
- Section and detail call-outs cross-referenced consistently between sheets, so a reviewer never has to hunt for a referenced detail
- Final AWI Ed.3 / AWMAC compliance check by a senior engineer before delivery
Problems We Solve — That Everyone Else Runs Into
These are the failure points we hear about most from shops, GCs and architects before they switch to us.
Layer Standards Don't Match Your Title Block
A set drafted against someone else's layer convention needs cleanup before your team can use it. We draft inside your shop's own standard from the first line.
2D-Only Sets Missing the 3D Your GC Now Expects
More GCs expect 3D for coordination, not just elevations. Native 2D/3D delivery means you're not commissioning a second pass to get it.
Inconsistent Call-outs Slow Down Architect Review
Line-weight and call-out inconsistencies are a common reason a reviewer's first pass takes longer than it should. Ours follow one consistent AWI Ed.3 convention throughout.
A Vendor Drafts in a Dialect Your Team Doesn't Use
Files exported from another CAD package into DWG often carry geometry quirks native AutoCAD users notice immediately. Ours are drafted natively, not converted.
How We Do It Differently
Native DWG, Never Exported
Drafted directly in AutoCAD from the first line — no conversion artifacts from another CAD package.
Layer Standards Matched Per Client
We adopt your shop's title block and layer convention instead of asking you to adapt to ours.
Career Millwork Drafters, Not a Generalist CAD Pool
Every AutoCAD set we produce is architectural millwork or commercial casework — the only discipline we draft.
AWI Edition 3 & AWMAC Compliant by Default
Compliance isn't a checkbox we add on request — it's the baseline every set is drafted and reviewed against.
Elevations, plans and sections drafted inside your shop's own layer standard — ready to drop straight into your existing set.
Scope & Standard Intake
Send your plans, specs and existing title block or layer standard. We confirm AWI grade and file structure before drafting starts.
Native DWG Drafting
Elevations, plans and sections are drafted directly in AutoCAD inside your layer convention, with AWI Ed.3 dimensioning and call-outs.
Internal AWI Compliance Review
Every set is checked against AWI Edition 3 and AWMAC conventions by a senior engineer before it goes out.
Delivery & Revisions
You receive native DWG plus a matching PDF submittal package, with two revision cycles built in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you draft native DWG, or export from another program?
Native. Every AutoCAD deliverable is drafted directly in AutoCAD from the start, so there's no conversion geometry or layer artifacts left over from another CAD package.
Can you match our shop's layer standard and title block?
Yes — send us your standard and we draft inside it. This is the default for AutoCAD engagements, not a custom request.
Do you provide both 2D and 3D, or is 3D a separate order?
Both are included in native DWG delivery. If your project only needs 2D, we scope accordingly, but the option to add 3D coordination geometry doesn't require a second engagement.
Is your AutoCAD output AWI Edition 3 compliant?
Yes. Every AutoCAD set follows the same AWI Ed.3 general notes, dimensioning and tolerance conventions as our Microvellum and Cabinet Vision deliverables, and is reviewed by a senior engineer before it ships.
