From a sentence to a shop drawing
Tell Tig what you're building. It draws a dimensioned gate, fence, or handrail in the real designer, right here. Keep prompting Tig or adjust anything by hand. No account needed.
Draw a gate, fence, or handrail with Tig. Free, no account needed.

From the gate design to the installation plan
Lay out operators, access controls, loops, concrete pads, and conduit around your gate. Put the equipment and measurements on one plan before the work begins.
Two ways to draw
Describe it to Tig, or build it part by part
Tig is optional. Everything it can set is a control you can set yourself, and you can go back and forth on the same drawing.
Describe it to Tig
Type the gate the way you would say it to a customer. Tig draws it in the designer, and each change you ask for touches only what you named.
Build it part by part
Open Panel Basics, pick the structure, and work down the column: posts, top profile, frame, rails, pickets, hardware. Nothing about the drawing depends on Tig.
One drawing, all the way to the shop
The drawing you just made becomes the plan, the cut list, and the download
Give customers a clear picture of the job and your crew the details to build it. Add dimensions and notes, prepare your material list, and download drawings for approval and fabrication.
1Annotate
Dimensions, a spec block, arrows, and notes appear on their own. Drag any of them. Customer-ready in a minute.
2Cut list
Every length to the nearest 1/16", miter angles, bend radius for arches, and a purchase summary rounded up for ordering.
3Download the job
Drawings, bend sheets, cut lists, photo mockups, and estimates as PDF, DXF, SVG, PNG, JPEG, or Excel, with your logo on them.
Real parts, real part numbers
Drop in the components you actually buy
The library is curated: finials, scrollwork, post caps, rings, collars, and baskets with supplier part numbers and true dimensions, so the drawing matches what is actually ordered.
- Ask Tig for it by name. “Fleur-de-lis finials” puts the right part on every picket.
- Shape your own scrollwork with parametric C-scrolls, S-scrolls, and spirals, right in the designer
- Missing a part? Send the supplier and part number. We draw it into your library.
Built by a fabricator
