Document Intelligence

Convert engineering PDF drawings into structured business data with PDF Drawing Extractor.

Automatically generate all supported drawing region types with a single click of Generate Regions. Handle specific extraction requirements with custom scripts, and use AI assistance to create those scripts quickly with minimal manual effort. Map extracted values to Protrak attributes, review the structure, and load records for downstream processes.

Extract drawing information. Map it to business attributes. Retain the connection to the source.

Generate All Region Types in One Click

Click the Generate Regions button to automatically generate all supported region types. Retain the engineering PDF as the visible source document while extraction takes place.

  • Template-led extraction

    Apply an extraction template to define what information should be identified and associate it with a target Protrak business type.

  • Primary regions and subregions

    Separate drawing-level information from detailed engineering characteristics using defined regions.

  • All supported region types

    Automatically generate Field, Text, Table, Matrix Table, List, Picture, Dimension, and Drawing View regions with a single Generate Regions button click, then map them to the appropriate Protrak data.

  • Region context

    Retain the region name, type, drawing zone, extracted value, page, and corresponding Protrak attribute, type, or relationship.

Create Custom Extraction Scripts with AI Assistance

Support specific extraction requirements through custom scripts. AI-assisted script generation helps users create extraction scripts quickly with minimal manual effort.

  • Custom extraction logic

    Use custom scripts to handle specific information-extraction requirements in engineering drawings.

  • AI-assisted script generation

    Use AI assistance to generate extraction scripts, reducing the manual effort required to create the logic.

  • Faster script creation

    Prepare scripts for your extraction requirements more quickly with AI-assisted generation.

Turn Drawing Metadata into Application Fields

Identify individual title-block fields and display extracted values alongside their source regions, ready to map to the appropriate Protrak properties.

  • Part Number

    Map the extracted part number to the Protrak Title/Part field.

  • Part Description

    Associate the part description with the Protrak Description field.

  • Drawing Number

    Populate the Drawing Number field from the corresponding drawing region.

  • Revision

    Map revision information to the Revision field.

Extract Engineering Characteristics

Detect individual drawing characteristics and annotations as separate extraction elements, including dimensional and GD&T information.

  • Dimensions and properties

    Capture characteristics such as linear dimensions and straight information, together with nominal values, datum, upper and lower tolerances, and drawing zones.

  • Attribute mapping

    Associate extracted values with the corresponding Protrak fields so the result conforms to the target business data structure.

  • Characteristic identity and order

    Retain characteristic type, balloon or characteristic identifier, sort order, and location alongside the extracted engineering values.

Keep Every Characteristic Connected to Its Drawing

Visibly mark detected characteristics in the drawing and present corresponding extracted records alongside them.

  • Locate the source

    Find an extracted characteristic at its original drawing position and review its drawing zone.

  • Correlate markers and records

    Use identifiable markers to connect each extracted element with the respective drawing annotation.

  • Review in context

    Check the value and characteristic type while retaining the relationship between structured Protrak information and the source drawing.

Preview Structured Data Before Loading

Inspect how extracted drawing information will be represented in Protrak before loading the resulting records.

  • Inspect individual characteristics

    Select extracted items to review their name, sort order, balloon identifier, characteristic, nominal value, and drawing zone.

  • Review JSON output

    View the extracted structure in JSON format as an additional representation of the resulting data.

  • Check mapping validation

    Review warnings and errors in the preview. Validation messages highlight missing mappings and provide details for review.

Review the Loaded Results

After loading, review the resulting records in a table with their generated identifiers and extracted drawing information.

  • Record and drawing details

    Review item type, generated record ID, part information, drawing information, and revision.

  • Detailed engineering values

    Inspect characteristic name, sort order, balloon ID, characteristic type, nominal value, drawing zone, datum, and upper and lower tolerances.

  • CSV representation

    Review structured output in CSV form when it is needed outside the detailed record view.

From PDF Engineering Drawing to Protrak Records

  1. Read the PDF engineering drawing as the source document.

  2. Apply the extraction template and click Generate Regions to automatically generate all supported region types.

  3. Extract metadata and engineering characteristics, using custom scripts and AI-assisted script generation for specific requirements where needed.

  4. Associate extracted values with Protrak attributes.

  5. Review structured information, source locations, and mapping validation messages.

  6. Load the information into Protrak records and review the results.

Structured Information from Engineering Drawings
