05Questions

Asked before the first download.

Does Redpen open DWG or STEP files?
No. Redpen works with PDF. Most shops receive or can print drawings to PDF, and that is what it measures and marks up.
Can I count parts automatically?
Yes. Click one symbol and AutoCount finds and numbers every match on the sheet, optionally only inside an area. Every marker can be added or removed by hand.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Redpen is a desktop app for Windows and Mac. It opens and saves PDFs on your computer, and no AI feature reads them. Your account only tells the app which plan you are on.
