WOGO Details Hacadly 2D Drafting Coverage Ahead of April 2027 Release
WOGO is publishing the boundary between what its standard functions automate and what it leaves to AI, which gives design teams a concrete reference for judging mechanical design automation before the product ships.

WOGO Inc. has disclosed the planned scope of coverage for "Hacadly 2D Automatic Drafting," a product that turns 3D CAD data into 2D single-part manufacturing drawings, ahead of its official release in April 2027. The company says standard functions centered on sheet metal and machined parts will cover about 70% of drafting man-hours, with geometric tolerances, datums, inspection dimensions, and assembly drawings handled as AI-based extended functions.
WOGO has split mechanical drafting work into two buckets before shipping anything. Standard functions handle projected views, dimensions for holes, screws, counterbores, R/C, plate thickness, and sheet metal bends, JIS-based drafting rules, bills of materials, balloons, and CAD native drawing output, all without AI. Extended functions using AI are reserved for geometric tolerances, datums, inspection dimensions, and assembly drawings, which WOGO says cannot be determined from shape information alone and depend on design intent or company-specific rules. The company is presenting the split as a way to organize how far automation can go, and it has folded the detailed coverage into the product catalog ahead of the April 2027 release.
