Discus Desktop can automatically balloon engineering drawings in .PDF or .TIFF format. Auto ballooning enables users to balloon specific page areas or the entire page with just a few mouse clicks.
If you need to balloon PDF or TIFF drawings for:
- First article inspection reporting
- In-process inspection planning
- Setup verification sheets
- Operation work instructions
Discus Auto Ballooning builds upon Discus OCR (optical character recognition) product and technology. For 2D auto ballooning, Discus has combined customized Google-based OCR technology with unique image processing algorithms to identify, annotate, and extract engineering requirements from .PDF or .TIFF drawings.
In addition to the 2D PDF auto ballooning, Discus offers the ability to:
- Auto sub balloons
- Extract numeric, notes and GD&T symbols with the enhanced OCR in 2D drawings and 3D models
- Include GD&T symbols in your inspection sheets
- Compare PDFs: This is ideal for finding the differences between revisions.
- Enter bonus tolerance: You can enter the bonus tolerance and have the value automatically included in the result pass/warning/fail status
