Reading a foreign drawing sheet in three steps

Save the sheet as an image

Patent office viewers usually offer sheets as PDF or TIFF; screenshot or convert each sheet to PNG or JPG, up to 30 MB.

Protect the numerals

Add an instruction such as "do not translate reference numerals or FIG. numbers", and name the technical field so component names come out right.

Read it with the claims

Open the translated sheet beside the description. Fix any component name in the editor so it matches the term you use in your search notes.

Suited to how patent drawings are made

Black-and-white sheets kept clean
Line art

Black-and-white sheets kept clean

  • The Standard engine only erases and refills the text areas, so hatching, lead lines and outlines are not redrawn.
  • Method flowcharts keep every box and arrow; only the step text inside changes language.
  • GPT Image 2.5 redraws the full image and can shift fine linework, so Standard is the safer default for drawing sheets.

Terms

Component names that match the text

  • Custom instructions can map recurring parts to fixed terms, so "housing" is not "casing" on the next sheet.
  • Run all sheets of a publication together: 20 per batch on Starter, 50 on Professional.
  • Correcting a label in the editor is free, and your runs are kept in My Creations for the next search session.

Scope

For reading, not for filing

  • The output is a machine translation for understanding prior art or a competitor’s filing.
  • It is not a certified translation and is not suitable for submission to a patent office.
  • Questions of scope, validity or infringement belong with a patent attorney or agent.
