Work in a drawing
Open AltoCad as its own drawing app. Your CAD file has its own editing space in your AltoDocs project.
AltoCad.
A place for your drawings.
Create and edit a standalone 2D drawing with native geometry, dimensions and layers. Work on the drawing itself, then bring a linked view into Docs when you need to explain it in a report.
Draft with native tools
Build 2D geometry with layers, section profiles and dimensions. Keep the drawing editable as the design changes.
Connect it to Docs
Place a linked drawing view in an engineering report. The source drawing stays editable in AltoCad.
AltoCad inside Docs
See how a drawing fits into a report.
This walkthrough shows the Docs integration: create a detail, save the source drawing and keep a linked view beside the engineering narrative.
Draw the detail right in your document.
A few things to know
Do I need to write a report to use AltoCad?+
No. AltoCad works as a standalone 2D drawing app. Docs is there when you want to bring drawings, calculations and writing together in a report.
How is this different from MathCanvas?+
AltoCad is for 2D drawings. MathCanvas is for engineering calculations with equations, units, Python and sketches.
