Annotra
Stop Numbering By Hand

Stop numbering patent figures by hand.

Manual numbering takes hours. Duplicate a callout across every sheet and it keeps its number - 100 stays 100 across the whole set - so a figure set is annotated in minutes.

  • One numeral, every figure

    Duplicate a callout to another page, or to all of them at once, and the number travels with it. 100 stays 100 across the whole set.

  • Minutes, not hours

    Number a full set in one pass instead of retyping the same numerals sheet by sheet and checking them against each other.

  • Caught before the examiner does

    Warns when text drops under the 12pt the USPTO expects, and when figure or page numbers fall too close to the annotation size.

Reviews

From the peoplepreparing the drawings.

  • What used to take an hour now takes minutes.

    Annotra has completely changed how I handle reference numbers and leader lines. It's fast, intuitive, and built around the way patent figures actually need to be prepared.

  • I wish I had this years ago.

    I used to annotate every figure manually in Illustrator. Annotra makes the entire process dramatically faster, especially when working with multiple figures and repeated reference numbers.

  • The learning curve was practically nonexistent.

    I uploaded my figures, imported my reference numbers, and was working within minutes. It eliminates a surprisingly tedious part of preparing a patent application.

  • Simple, focused, and incredibly useful.

    Annotra doesn't try to replace my drawing software. It does one specific job extremely well: getting reference numbers and callouts onto patent figures quickly and consistently.

    Emily HartwellPatent Agent
  • A huge time saver for figure preparation.

    Being able to annotate an entire set of drawings, keep everything organized, and export a clean PDF from one place has made my workflow much more efficient.
