About CADtoSketch
CADtoSketch is a web tool that converts a STEP file into a technical drawing following ISO conventions. The drawing is dimensionally true to the model in millimeters and includes standard views, a section view labeled A-A, a hole table and radius callouts.
Results can be exported as PDF, DXF or SVG, which covers both printing and editing in other CAD or drawing tools. The site says the first generation is included, so users can try it before paying. Supported file limits, drawing standards beyond ISO and pricing are not stated in the available material.
