A shop reads the sheet, not the byline
Machine shops quote and machine from whatever is on the drawing. Nobody asks whether a human or an AI placed the dimensions. What they check is whether the sheet tells them, without ambiguity, what to make and how good it has to be.
What a shop looks for
- Correct, complete views with no missing faces.
- Every feature dimensioned once, with nothing left to calculate.
- Tolerances on the features that matter, and a general tolerance for the rest.
- A complete title block with material, finish, units and scale.
That is the same bar any drawing has to clear. We lay it out in full in what makes a drawing manufacturing-ready and explain why shops still insist on 2D drawings in why machine shops still want 2D drawings.
Your one job before sending
Confirm the dimensions that control fit and function. The AI can draft the sheet to standard, but you own the values that decide whether the parts assemble.
