Balloon one of your drawings

Automatic ballooning of a PDF drawing, with nothing to install

A drawing arrives, and every dimension has to be numbered, then copied into a table before anything can be measured. This tool does that work in the browser: you drop a PDF drawing, you frame the zones to read, and the automatic reading places the balloons on the drawing and fills the dimension table, tolerances included. You correct what deserves it, then download the ballooned drawing as a PDF and the inspection report in Excel, ready to fill in: one column per part, OK/NC worked out as you type. The raw table is also available as CSV.

What leaves, what stays

The PDF never leaves your browser. Only the zones you frame are sent to our server, in Montreal, for the time it takes to read them, then forgotten: nothing is kept, nothing is used to train anything. The tool is limited to five zones per drawing, four drawings a month, then four more if you leave your e-mail. No account is created.

What comes next?

Ballooning is only the start of an inspection report. The tool hands you the report ready to fill in; in Report, it fills with the measurements machinists enter at the machine, part by part, then it is signed off and joins the other reports of the order. That is where the tool stops: what comes next is Report.
