Lineplate

Turn a STEP assembly into exact hidden-line drawings and exploded views in your browser. SVG, PDF, PNG. Nothing is uploaded.

A 91-part robot arm opened from a STEP file in the browser, drawn as an exact hidden-line isometric view with hidden edges dashed. Line weights for outlines, sharp edges, smooth edges and hidden lines are set in millimetres on the right.

The same 91-part assembly exploded automatically, so every part and screw is visible, with dashed trails showing where each one goes. The hidden-line drawing is recalculated in the browser; the file is never uploaded.
A finished parts drawing (Pro): each part numbered with a balloon and leader line, and a parts list table with item, part name and quantity. Exports as vector PDF or SVG, and the parts list as CSV.
+1
Two pages of a step-by-step assembly manual (Pro). Each step shows the part being added in colour against the parts already fitted, with balloons matching the parts list.

What is Lineplate?

Lineplate is a browser-based tool for technical illustration and assembly documentation, an alternative to desktop tools like SOLIDWORKS Composer, Creo Illustrate and Cortona3D for teams that need clean line art rather than interactive 3D.

Open a STEP, IGES or BREP file and Lineplate works out the hidden lines exactly from the CAD geometry (Open CASCADE Technology, compiled to WebAssembly), so circles stay true arcs and nothing is left in stray fragments. Style the drawing as technical (hidden lines dashed), illustration or heavy outline, with your own line weights. Explode the assembly automatically without collisions, then adjust it by hand. Export SVG in millimetres, vector PDF/A-2b in RGB or CMYK, or PNG at up to 600 dpi.

Everything runs in the browser: the file is never uploaded, and projects stay on your computer. The free plan covers drawings of up to 250 parts, with no account and no watermark. Pro, at £49 a month or £490 a year per editor, adds balloons and parts lists, step-by-step assembly manuals, revision updates, brand templates and batch export.
