Annotation
Turn a gate design into a professional shop drawing.
Dimensions, spec blocks, arrows, and notes are generated from your design and stay fully editable.
What you get
Everything a customer or a shop needs to read the drawing.
Auto-generated dimensions
Dimensions are calculated automatically from your gate configuration — overall width, height, picket spacing, post sizes, and more. No measuring or manual entry required.
Spec block
A specification block is generated automatically with gate type, opening dimensions, frame sizes, picket specs, and rail details. Double-click to customize the text.
Text & arrow annotations
Add custom text labels and arrows to call out specific details. Point out hinge locations, latch positions, decorative elements, or installation notes.
Custom dimensions
Draw your own dimension lines for measurements not covered by the auto-generated set. Values snap to the nearest 1/16" for fabrication accuracy.
