SYSTEM LAYER — PRODUCTION
The Toolkit Is How the System Produces Real Drawings
Templates and stencils that enforce standards and keep patent drawings consistent — across matters, teams, and time.

IMPORTANT
The Toolkit is included with the Starter Package and is not available as a standalone product. Maintenance & Support adds updates, guidance, and ongoing help for active users.
What the Toolkit Provides
A standardized Visio environment designed for real patent drawing production.
TEMPLATES
Patent-Ready Page Templates
Start every drawing with correct margins, styles, and layout conventions.
- ✔ Letter & A4 page formats aligned with filing standards
- ✔ Standardized fonts, line weights, and layout defaults
- ✔ Preconfigured portrait/landscape page setups and automatic page numbering
STENCILS
Production-Grade Figure Stencils
Reusable shapes for the figure types professionals actually draw.
- ✔ Annotations: reference numbers, lead lines, figure titles, callouts
- ✔ Flowcharts and system diagrams using disciplined, patent-ready shapes
- ✔ Graphs, tables, GUI elements, devices, people, and specialized symbols
CONSISTENCY
One Visual Language Across All Work
Ensure drawings look like they came from one system — not multiple vendors or styles.
- ✔ Shared conventions for spacing, layers, and line styles
- ✔ Easier review and fewer format corrections
- ✔ Cleaner handoffs between staff and collaborators
What the Toolkit Enables
Speed, clarity, and consistency — without reinventing layouts every time.
Faster Production
Reusable components remove repetitive setup work.
- ✔ Less time fixing margins and formatting
- ✔ Faster creation of routine figures
- ✔ Easier revisions and updates
Cleaner Output
Standardized annotation improves clarity for review and filing.
- ✔ Consistent labels and linework
- ✔ Reduced ambiguity
- ✔ More predictable review cycles
Stable Foundation
The Toolkit remains the core regardless of optional extensions.
- ✔ Cloud Workspace runs the same Toolkit environment
- ✔ Studio work is delivered Toolkit-compatible (editable Visio files)
- ✔ Training maps directly to Toolkit workflows
How the Toolkit Fits into the IP DaVinci System
The Toolkit is the production layer of the IP DaVinci System.
- Training teaches the method and conventions.
