AI drawing conversion platform / Intelligence, into the drawing.

Put designers
back on design.

The hours that used to disappear into tracing go back into design. Upload a drawing PDF. CADROH, our AI drawing conversion tool, reads it and rebuilds it as CAD data (DXF) that holds up as a drawing, with text, dimensions, and structure in place.

Drawing PDF → editable DXF Every dimension chain checked automatically Handwritten drawings and blueprints too

SELF-CHECK — the drawing checks its own numbers

600 20 600 20 600 880 2,720 Check passed—delivered as final

Add up the individual dimensions and the total should match the overall dimension written on the drawing. CADROH runs that check automatically on every dimension chain.

Problem

Converted is not the same as usable.

Conventional auto-conversion copies every bit of ink on the drawing as a line. The file opens, but you can't edit it. Text shatters into hundreds of short line segments, and dimensions become nothing but lines and scattered numbers. In the end, someone has to sit down with the original and redraw it.

Simple tracing

You get a picture made of lines

  • Text shatters into lines or comes out garbled
  • Dimensions turn into lines plus scattered numbers
  • Errors slip in quietly, and you can't spot them by eye
  • In the end, you go back over the whole drawing against the original
CADROH

You get a drawing rebuilt as CAD objects

  • Text comes back as editable Japanese text
  • Dimensions are rebuilt from the drawing's own dimension lines into dimension objects
  • Numbers are delivered only after the drawing's own self-check backs them up
  • Anything that needs a closer look is flagged in red

How It Works

The three things CADROH is built on.

01 — Routing Identify the drawing, then convert it

PDFs exported from CAD, scanned drawings, blueprints, and handwritten sketches. Drawings this different don't respond to the same conversion. CADROH identifies what kind of drawing it is at upload and picks the method that fits it. We have tested it on real drawings, from a handwritten 1972 blueprint to freehand sketches from the field.

02 — Reconstruction Turn each element into the CAD entity its role calls for

Structural lines come back as lines, text as text, and hatching as fill. Dimensions come back with the relationship intact among the dimension lines drawn on the sheet, the dimension values, and the overall dimension. The DXF we deliver is not a picture. It is a drawing you can start editing right away, and Japanese text does not come out garbled.

03 — Self-Check Let the drawing check its own math

Add up the individual dimensions and the total should match the overall dimension written on the drawing. CADROH runs that check automatically on every dimension chain and delivers as confirmed only the dimensions the drawing's own arithmetic backs up. No external ground truth, no manual cross-checking. The drawing itself is what the self-check runs against.

Quality Principle

We do not let an error through unflagged.

The costliest error in a conversion is the one that looks plausible. Our quality standard is not an accuracy rate. What the self-check could not confirm, CADROH does not drop and does not hide. It goes out with a red “Needs review” flag.

  • Passed the self-check — trust it and use it as it stands.
  • Needs review — that is all you have to look at. Not having to go back over the whole drawing against the original is where the labor savings actually come from.

Evidence

Quality, backed by process.

CADROH's quality is not a matter of a conversion happening to turn out well. We built verification into the product itself, and every conversion result is confirmed by multiple independent methods before we deliver it.

Blind review

People who work with drawings every day make the call without being told which method produced the output. Anything the review finds needs correcting does not go out as confirmed.

Every dimension checked

Every dimension chain in a drawing we deliver is checked automatically against the overall dimensions written on the drawing itself. A number that fails the check does not go out as confirmed.

Reproducing how reads fail

We run simulations that reproduce the ways a read can go wrong, and at the design stage we close off the paths by which an error could slip through unflagged.

Everything on record

What we build up is our verification methods and the records behind them. Not your drawings. Improvement runs on that in-house asset.

Note: We verify on real drawings—CAD output, scans, blueprints, and hand-drawn sketches. Both the methods and the results can be reproduced from the records.

Data Handling

Your drawings are not training data.

A drawing is the design itself, and not something you want leaving your company. We built CADROH on that premise. What we accumulate to improve quality is our own verification methods and the records behind them, not the drawings you send us.

01 / Purpose

Your drawings are used for conversion only

We process the drawings you upload for one purpose only: to produce your DXF. We do not use them for anything else.

02 / No Training

We don't use them to train AI

We do not use your drawings as material to train or improve AI models. We improve conversion quality through our own accumulated verification work, not through your data.

03 / Our Asset

What we keep is the method

What CADROH builds up as an asset is a record of our verification procedures, the methods that worked, and the methods that did not. Building a database of drawings is not the goal.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of drawings can you handle?
Upload a drawing PDF and CADROH converts it into an editable DXF. It handles PDFs exported from CAD, scanned drawings, blueprints, and handwritten sketches. We have tested it on real drawings, from a handwritten 1972 blueprint to freehand sketches from the field.
Can we start editing the converted DXF right away?
Yes. Structural lines come back as lines, text as editable Japanese text, and hatching as fill. Dimensions are rebuilt into dimension objects with the relationship intact among the dimension lines drawn on the sheet, the dimension values, and the overall dimension. Japanese text does not come out garbled.
How do you prevent conversion errors?
Our quality standard is not an accuracy rate. Add up the individual dimensions and the total should match the overall dimension written on the drawing. CADROH runs that check automatically on every dimension chain and delivers as confirmed only the dimensions the drawing's own arithmetic backs up. What the self-check could not confirm, CADROH does not drop and does not hide. It goes out with a red “Needs review” flag. That is all you have to look at, so you do not have to go back over the whole drawing against the original.
Will our drawings be used to train AI?
No. We process the drawings you upload for one purpose only: to produce your DXF. We do not use them as material to train or improve AI models. What we accumulate to improve quality is our own verification methods and the records behind them, not the drawings you send us.
Can we try it?
Bring us a drawing of your own and we will run a conversion demo, or talk to us about bringing CADROH in. Hand-drawn sheets, blueprints, and old as-built drawings—the ones you think are impossible are the ones we most want to see.
