Drawings

The export tool can create SVG and vector PDF drawings from a model. Sheets can include projected views, dimensions, sections, title blocks, balloons, and parts lists. Automatic annotation can derive supported dimensions and callouts from geometry; authored annotations and drawing-review plans are also available.

drawing_to_cad reads a vector PDF page and proposes an editable .kcad.ts reconstruction with named parameters and an assumption ledger. Its optional verification evaluates the script and compares a re-projected drawing with the source. It reports diagnostics when the page cannot be interpreted. Raster-only PDFs are not reconstructed by this path; use trace_from_image when the source is an image.

Drawing-review coverage records whether declared callouts and decisions are present. It does not certify engineering correctness or replace review of dimensions, tolerances, and the finished drawing.
