Not only is Drafty a wonderful tool for professionals, we are deeply committed to providing a solid educational platform. The impetus behind Drafty's simplified design is to create an aid to teaching in the classroom. Drafty accomplishes this in several ways.

1. • High quality layout
   • By providing a complete and high quality layout as the startpoint of your drawing, drafty teaches young designers how to lay out a drawing, what to put in a titleblock, and how to organize an instrument key. Take a look at our sample dance plot to see what the final output looks like.
2. • Consistant style
   • While more seasoned draftpersons may wish for greater flexibility in terms of styling a drawing, this limitation becomes a powerful asset in a classroom. Rather than critiquing a student's ability to use complex software and missing a great design idea because of poor CAD skills, Drafty's ease of use allows student design work to be compared in an apples-to-apples context.
3. • Low Cost
   • With the rising costs of education, we feel it is important to provide tools for students at an affordable price. Professional grade software aimed at specialists earning six figure salaries does not mesh with the economic reality of most college and graduate students, or early career designers.
4. • On the Go
   • Being a cloud-based application means that students can work from home, bring a laptop out with them, or sit down at a school workstation and have access to all their class files and get to work. No more excuses about the dog eating their USB stick!
5. • Great for novice users
   • Between the carefully controlled styling, intuitive controls, and smart objects, Drafty can be picked up by high school students, non-technical theater minors, or technophobic hand drafters with ease.
6. • Easy to learn and well-supported
   • Drafty is simple to pick up without any instruction at all, and it ships with an extensive Getting Started Guide and expanding library of video tutorials.
