Two centerlines, one keypress.
Hestus reads the sketch as you draw it. A fresh rectangle appears and it offers both centerlines. One key places them as construction lines. On the right, the same two lines take nine inputs.
Cycle to the suggestion you want. Or ignore it.
Hestus usually has more than one idea. Tap through its suggestions until you land on the one you intended, then press Enter. Here that is the mirror to four circles, symmetry constraints included. Keep drawing instead and we get out of your way.
Quietly used by 5,000 engineers.
Here's what some of them have said.
R.W. · Manufacturing ManagerI plugged it in... it's pretty slick. I start a drawing and it’s right there—it’s in line with what I would do naturally or normally... very, very easy.
J.C. · Retired 3D Printing HobbyistIt's scary how dependent I have become on Sketch Helper, it is such a time-saver.
K.F. · Founder and CEOonly about 1/3 of my time is spent actually solving problems or evaluating the design... I can only click so fast.
C.S. · Mechanical EngineerI'll just throw lines down and pick the Hestus solution that makes the most sense afterwards
O.L. · Mechanical Engineer, FounderI am fast with coming up with a concept but then... making sure design is ready for manufacturing takes lots effort. Hestus recommendations make it streamlined.
T.S. · Freelance CAD EducatorUsing Hestus AI with my Fusion 360 projects has helped me... take complex RC aircraft projects from concept to finished model.
A.K. · Product Design EngineerIt intuitively automates repetitive constraints and handles symmetry instantly, saving me countless manual clicks so I can focus on the actual design.
S.M. · Founder and CEOHestus is more critical now than ever as engineers are moving faster from design to manufactured parts.
M.P. · Mechanical Engineering StudentThe boost that features like mirror and dangling point gave to my design capabilities was exactly what I needed to win my first CAD hackathon.
It lives where you already work.
Hestus runs inside the CAD you already use. Nothing new to learn, nothing to export, and no juggling part files.

You sketch. It suggests. One key accepts.
Hestus watches the sketch while you draw, so it already knows what you're looking at. You never have to type it all out for a chatbot.
No clunky text prompts
draw a rectangle 130 mm wide and 100 mm tall, then add a horizontal construction line from the midpoint of the left edge to the midpoint of the right edge, then a vertical construction line from the midpoint of the top edge to the midpoint of the bottom edge, make sure both are construction lines and not sketch lines, then draw a circle 20 mm in diameter in the upper left quarter, then mirror that circle across the horizontal construction line, then select both circles and mirror them across the vertical construction line so there are four, then add a symmetry constraint between each pair so that when I move one the others follow, and also make the top two circles the same size as the bottom two, then dimension the gap between the left circles and the left edge as 30 mm and do the same on the right so it stays symmetric, then make sure the rectangle is fully constrained with the origin at the bottom left corner, and if any line is still blue fix that, then add a 5 mm fillet to each corner of the rectangle, and if the circles move when I drag the rectangle undo that and
You are faster with the mouse than with a text box. We know.
Typing out a pattern that takes two clicks is a step backwards.
We think so too.
For every job, Hestus picks the interaction that asks the least of you: a keypress, a click, or nothing at all.
You do the designing. Hestus does the clicking.
Dragging lines around until they turn black was never the engineering. Hestus takes that off your plate, so you spend the time on the part that needed you.
