AutoCAD Drafting delivered as scalable offshore support.
Construction-ready distribution drawings produced natively in AutoCAD, to your CAD standard — plan-and-profile, redlines, revisions and full sheet sets. Built for engineering managers scaling drafting capacity without adding headcount: A cost-effective, scalable offshore team that works to your standards and delivers overnight, so your licensed staff review rather than draft.
AutoCAD drafting is the highest-volume, most repeatable part of a distribution package, and the first work most teams outsource to India. We produce plan-and-profile sheets, construction drawings, redline updates and full revision-controlled sheet sets in native DWG, using your layers, blocks, xrefs and title block. Nothing is redrawn in a foreign template and converted back.
The overnight model fits drafting well. You issue scope or mark up redlines at the end of your day; the sheets are produced in Bengaluru and returned the next morning for review. Small packages typically return within 48 hours, and a large sheet run is scheduled and confirmed before work begins, so your local staff check and seal rather than draft.

Common questions
Do you draft to our CAD standard or your own?
Yours. We load your layering, blocks, xrefs and title block before drafting, so packages pass your CAD standards check on the first submission.
Can you handle redlines and revisions on existing sets?
Yes. We incorporate redlines and as-built notes into existing drawings and return a clean, revision-controlled set with a change list.
What turnaround can we expect?
Small packages typically return within 48 hours; larger runs are scheduled and confirmed before work begins.
Why work with Spanex Engineering for autocad drafting?
A cost-effective, scalable offshore team that works to your standards and delivers overnight, so your licensed staff review rather than draft.
Can we outsource just AutoCAD drafting and keep design in-house?
Yes. Most clients keep design authority and the professional seal in-house and outsource only the drafting hours — plan-and-profile, construction sheets, redlines and revisions — produced to your CAD standard.
Do you draft in the current AutoCAD release?
Yes. We draft in current AutoCAD, and in MicroStation where a utility uses DGN, and deliver in the DWG or DGN version your workflow expects, with clean layers and resolved xref paths.
How do you keep a large sheet set consistent across drafters?
One CAD standard, shared blocks and a single title-block source, plus a lead check on the full set before release — so numbering, layers and revisions stay consistent regardless of how many drafters are on the run.
