Your STEP file
is a DEAD
document.

Annotate faces with tolerances, threads, and colors directly on the 3D model. Share a link. Your factory sees exactly what you mean, no 2D drawings, no back-and-forth.

ZONE A The problem

STEP files are geometry.
Nothing else survives the handoff.

- Without OnyxCAD
×Export STEP, create a separate 2D PDF drawing manually
×Files drift out of sync, drawing says one thing, model another
×Factory defaults to +/-0.005 inch because specs are buried in a PDF
×Three email threads to clarify one hole callout
×Annotations locked in SolidWorks, useless without a license
vs
+ With OnyxCAD
Click any face, assign a tolerance. Done in seconds.
Annotations bake into the STEP file, one document, always in sync
Share a link. Factory opens in browser, clicks face, sees the spec.
No ambiguity. No back-and-forth. First-article inspections pass.
No CAD license required to view or review
ZONE B Specifications

Built for the handoff,
not the design.

F-01

Face-level annotations

Click any surface on the 3D model. Assign a tolerance, thread spec, color, or note. Every annotation is bound to that face's geometry hash, not an index that breaks on re-export.

tolerance · thread · color · notes
F-02

Metadata survives export

Three parallel injection strategies embed your annotations into the STEP file structure itself. Open the exported file in SolidWorks, Fusion, or any viewer, the metadata is there.

PROPERTY_DEFINITION · PRODUCT_DESC · COMMENT
F-03

Share with anyone

One link. No account required to view. Your factory, customer, contract reviewer, they click the face, they see the spec. Read-only. Nothing to install.

read-only · browser-native · no install
ZONE C Process

Three steps.
Under two minutes.

01

Upload your STEP file

Drag and drop any STEP file. The geometry processes in seconds, hundreds of faces, automatically fingerprinted and ready to annotate.

02

Click faces, assign specs

Click any surface in the 3D viewer. Set tolerances, thread types, colors. Use the heat map to visualize your tolerance distribution across the whole part.

03

Export or share a link

Export an annotated STEP file with metadata baked in. Or copy a share link, anyone with it can view the annotated model in a browser, no account needed.
