Real dimensions
Width and height are in millimetres and can be edited per object.
General arrangement drawing software
Create general arrangement drawings without complex CAD software.
Plan control cabinets, position equipment and create clear industrial layouts with ready-to-use components and real dimensions — without complicated CAD software.
Lay out control cabinets with DIN rails, cable ducts, PLCs, power supplies and terminals — or place equipment in a room or plant area — using real dimensions in millimetres.

A simpler way to create industrial arrangement drawings.
From equipment layouts to general technical documentation, InduDraft helps you organize drawing elements in a focused workspace without the overhead of traditional CAD.
How to create a GA drawing
- 1
Choose an enclosure or area
Start with a cabinet, mounting plate, room or plant area.
- 2
Place equipment
Search the GA library and place components. Objects use real dimensions you can adjust.
- 3
Tag and describe
Add tags, manufacturer, part numbers and other properties to each object.
- 4
Export
Export PDF or SVG, keep the editable InduDraft file, or create DWG linework.
The drawing tools you need. Nothing you don’t.
Work with available drawing tools and libraries suited to arrangement drawings. Keep your workflow straightforward, from the first object to the finished drawing.
Cabinet library
Enclosures, DIN rails, cable ducts, earth bars, fans, heaters and gland plates.
Control & power
PLC CPUs, I/O, switches, power supplies, UPS, drives, breakers, contactors and relays.
Plan-view objects
Rooms, doors, columns, tanks, pump skids, cable trays and walkways.
Tags and properties
Keep tags, manufacturer, part number, depth and weight on the objects.
Generate GA from photo
Turn a cabinet photo into editable objects to review. Included in Pro.
Create, update and deliver.
Prepare general arrangement drawings for engineering reviews, supplier documentation and project workflows using InduDraft’s supported export formats.
Arrangement tools instead of generic shapes
Generic diagram tools can draw rectangles, but a GA needs equipment you recognise, at the size it really is.
Generic drawing app
- Unscaled shapes
- Equipment drawn by hand
- Data added as loose text
InduDraft
- Real-size equipment in mm
- Ready-made cabinet and layout objects
- Tags and properties on objects
Use InduDraft for practical GA work
Control cabinet layouts
Plan mounting plates, rails, ducts and components before the panel is built.
Equipment rooms
Show where cabinets, tanks and skids sit in a room or area.
Supplier documentation and as-built updates
Deliver arrangement drawings with packaged equipment and record what is actually installed after changes on site.
DIN rails, ducts and PLCs
Position DIN rails, cable ducts, PLCs, terminals and electrical equipment at real size.
General technical drawing practice
GA objects are drawn as real-size outlines in millimetres, following general technical drawing practice rather than a fixed symbol standard.

Export the drawing when it is ready
PDFPrepare drawings for sharing, review and project documentation.
SVGExport scalable vector graphics for documents and compatible design tools.

DWG export produces editable 2D CAD geometry, not intelligent AutoCAD objects.
GA drawing software questions
What is a general arrangement drawing?
A general arrangement (GA) drawing shows how equipment is physically laid out — for example the components inside a control cabinet, or equipment placed in a room or plant area.
Are objects drawn to real size?
Yes. GA objects in InduDraft use millimetres, and each object's width and height can be edited to match the actual equipment.
What objects are included?
Enclosures, DIN rails, cable ducts, PLC CPUs and I/O modules, power supplies, breakers, contactors, relays, terminals, drives and plan-view objects such as rooms, tanks, pump skids and walkways.
Can InduDraft generate a GA drawing from a photo?
Yes, with InduDraft Pro. Photo to GA turns a photo of a cabinet, component or area into editable real-size objects for you to check; low-confidence objects are marked for review and the photo stays as a faint locked underlay. It is planned as a Pro feature after launch.
Is there a standard set of GA symbols?
Not in the same way as P&IDs. GA drawings normally show equipment outlines at real size, following general technical drawing practice rather than a fixed pictogram library.
Is InduDraft free to try?
Yes. Open the GA editor in your browser without creating an account.
Also drawing process or electrical diagrams? See P&ID software and single-line diagram software.
