Automatic detail drawings for Autodesk Inventor
Turn a finished Inventor assembly into a complete set of detail drawings — every part, every sub-assembly — without placing a single view by hand.
Why detailing takes so long
On a typical fabrication project the 3D model is finished in days, but the detail drawings take longer: placing views part by part, dimensioning, ballooning, filling title blocks, then fixing overlaps. Every change means doing some of it again.
SheetPilot does that repetitive work for you, using the rules your shop already follows, so designers spend their time on design.
What SheetPilot creates
- One drawing file for the project — main assembly first, then each sub-assembly followed by its own parts, on A3 sheets.
- Standard view layout — front view, side view to its right, plan view below, plus a shaded isometric.
- Readable dimensions — smallest dimension nearest the part, largest outermost, no overlaps with balloons, notes or the parts list.
- Balloons placed all around the views, with leaders that do not cross.
- Parts list fixed in one place with short material names (SS304, SS316, MS, GI) and the total project quantity on top.
- Title block filled — customer, drawing number, scale, sheet number, dates and revision.
- GA drawings with an exploded-view page so every component is easy to identify.
Your template, your standard
SheetPilot uses the drawing templates in your Inventor templates folder and your own title block. Dimension style, view spacing, parts-list position and numbering are set in a settings window — no text files to edit — and settings can be exported and shared with the whole design team.
Check sheet by sheet, then export
Before anything leaves the office you can step through every sheet, mark a sheet as a mistake, and switch hole dimensions on or off per sheet. Then export PDF sets in one click: the full set, a sheet-metal folding set and a machined-parts set, each keeping the sheet numbers of the full set.
Revisions without starting over
When a part changes, SheetPilot updates only the sheets of the changed parts in the same drawing file. All sheets carry one revision number, so the workshop always knows which set is current.
Questions
Does SheetPilot work with my company drawing template?
Yes. It uses the templates in your Inventor templates folder and fills your own title block.
Can I edit the drawings after SheetPilot creates them?
Yes. The result is a normal Inventor drawing file. You can move views, add notes or change dimensions as usual.
Which Inventor versions are supported?
Inventor 2024, 2025 and 2026 on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
