Ichno PRO
add-on
Technical drawings to PDF, SVG and DXF, for professionals
Technical drawings for the workshop and CAD
Ichno PRO turns your Blender scene into technical drawings in one click, with the files a workshop or a CAD office asks for: DXF at real size, bill of materials in Excel and CSV, numbered balloons, manual dimensions, title block templates and batch export.
It includes everything in the free Ichno: orthographic, isometric and section views, dimensions, ISO 2768 tolerances, title block, sheets per collection, vector PDF and SVG. Your scene is never modified: the drawing is computed by a second Blender in the background.
DXF for any CAD tool
- One .dxf per sheet, next to the PDF and SVG, for AutoCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD, FreeCAD, QCAD or a laser cutter
- Real size (1:1): the views measure their true dimensions, in mm
- Layers: VISIBLE, HIDDEN, DIMENSIONS, TEXT, FRAME, and HATCH for section views
Bill of materials and balloons
- Bill of materials exported to Excel (.xlsx) and CSV
- Custom columns: material, size, collection, position or any custom property, on the drawing and in the files
- Numbered balloons on the isometric view, linked to the bill of materials
Manual dimensions
- Between two vertices, or two positions of the 3D cursor
- Drawn on every view where they show their true length, or on the view you choose
Title block templates and batch export
- Save your title block (company, logo, fields, ISO 2768 tolerances) as a template, reuse it, share it as a JSON file
- Batch export: every scene of the file, or a folder of .blend files, each drawing in its own folder
