AI patent figure drafting

The assistant turns a sketch, a photo or a description into black line art, and reference numerals are drawn from the signs you pin.

Drawn from what is on file

The assistant starts from a sketch or photo you uploaded, a written description, or an existing figure. The drawing arrives as a suggested figure for you to accept or reject.

Black ink on white paper

Every drawing comes out as black line art with hatched cut surfaces and no shading, colour or text. Perspective, exploded and cross-section views, flowcharts and block diagrams each follow their own conventions.

Revise a figure by asking

Ask the assistant to remove the numbering baked into a drawing and a proposed replacement arrives beside the current one. Flip between them under your pins to see that each still lands. Nothing changes until you approve.

Numerals drawn from the pins

Pin an element on the drawing and its numeral and leader line are placed on clear paper, sized to the stricter of the EPO and USPTO drawing rules. Renumber the element and every drawing follows.

Signs checked against the text

The reference signs table shows where each sign is pinned, claimed and described. A sign pinned but never described, or one number on two parts, is flagged before an examiner finds it.

Figures in filing order

Drag a figure to a new place and its label and every reference to it follow, with sub-figures lettered. The preview and the Word export carry the same drawing sheets.
