Examples

Example prompts for real drafting tasks.

These examples are grouped by practical use case so you can recognise your own kind of job quickly.

Plates and back plates

Back plate with mounting holes

Create a 1200 mm x 800 mm back plate with four 14 mm mounting holes 50 mm from each corner and one centred rectangular cut-out 250 mm x 180 mm.
Why it works: size, hole quantity, offsets, and cut-out dimensions are all clear.

Base plate with slot pattern

Create a 900 mm x 500 mm plate with six 12 mm holes along the top edge and four horizontal slots 18 mm x 40 mm spaced evenly along the lower half.
Why it works: it describes the repeated geometry and rough location of each feature.
Operator panels

HMI and push-button layout

Create a front panel 600 mm x 400 mm with one centred HMI cut-out, two 22 mm push-button holes on the right side, and one 22 mm pilot light hole above them.
Why it works: the main features and relative positions are easy to understand.

Grouped control layout

Create a 700 mm x 500 mm operator panel with two rows of three 22 mm holes, each row centred horizontally, plus one rectangular label area below each row.
Why it works: grouped devices and simple alignment rules are ideal for a first draft.
Doors and repeated layouts

Door layout draft

Create a switchboard door panel 1800 mm x 600 mm with a viewing window cut-out in the upper third, a handle cut-out on the right side, and four fixing holes near the corners.
Why it works: it combines clear panel size with a few major features and simple placement language.

Symmetrical hole array

Create a 500 mm x 500 mm plate with a 120 mm centre opening and eight evenly spaced 12 mm holes arranged symmetrically around the centre lines.
Why it works: symmetry and repeated holes are strong use cases for a prompt-based workflow.

Always include units

Say mm or inches so the result starts from a clear unit system.

Say where features sit

Edge offsets, centre positions, and grouped alignment help a lot.

Keep it practical

Describe the job the way a real drafter would describe it, not like a marketing demo.

Use one as a starter

Copy an example, then make it yours.
