Drawings the Shop Can Actually Build From

There's a big difference between a shop drawing and a fabrication drawing. Shop drawings communicate design intent to the architect. Fabrication drawings tell the shop exactly how to cut, bend, weld, and assemble. Different audience, different level of detail.

Matic Drafting produces fabrication drawings for custom metal brackets, glass panels, aluminum extrusions, and specialty components used in glazing installations. Every drawing is dimensioned for manufacturing — with tolerances, material specifications, finish callouts, hole patterns, bend radii, and weld symbols where required.

If your shop is building it, we make sure there's a drawing that shows exactly how it goes together — no interpretation required.

What's in a Fabrication Drawing Package

All fabrication drawings are produced in AutoCAD and delivered as DWG and PDF. We can also provide STEP or DXF files for CNC and laser cutting operations upon request.

What We Detail

Custom Brackets & Anchors

Embed plates, clip angles, knife plates, and custom anchor assemblies. Fully dimensioned with hole patterns, welds, and structural coordination notes.

Aluminum Extrusions & Framing

Cut lists, machining details, notch locations, and assembly instructions for custom aluminum framing members and adapters.

Metal Panels & Flashings

Flat patterns with bend lines, formed profile views, and material/finish callouts. Dimensioned for shop fabrication or CNC processing.

Glass & Panel Sizing

Glass cut sizes with edge work details, make-up specs, hole locations for point-supported systems, and laminate stack-up information.

Built for the Shop Floor

Fabrication drawings have one job: get the part made right the first time. That means the level of detail matters. We don't leave dimensions implied or force the fabricator to scale off the drawing. Every measurement is called out. Every hole is located. Every material is specified.

Dimensioning standards. We follow industry standard dimensioning practices with clear leaders, ordinate dimensions for hole patterns, and reference datums for complex parts. If your shop has specific preferences, we match them.

Tolerance awareness. We understand that fabricated components need to fit together on site with other trades' work. Our dimensions account for real-world tolerances, clearances, and adjustment ranges — not just the theoretical geometry.

Revision control. Parts change as projects evolve. We maintain clean revision histories with clouded changes, revision tables, and clear delta markers so the shop always knows what changed and when.
