Scientific Drawing

Drawing in research mode

Open “Scientific Drawing” from the input area or “Research Toolbox → Scientific Drawing.” Specify the subject, diagram type, text language, aspect ratio, and reference images, then bring the requirements into the conversation. You can keep editing the prompt before sending it.

For example:

Draw a schematic of a solid-state battery with the cathode, solid electrolyte, anode, and direction of ion transport.
Use a white background and a clean academic style. Distinguish the material layers and interfaces, and use English labels.

Preview the generated image in the conversation and describe any further changes. A research conversation can start independently; you do not need to create a project just to draw an image.

Revise and save

When iterating, specify the location and goal, such as “Enlarge the annotation area at the electrode–electrolyte interface” or “Reduce decorative elements while preserving the structural relationships.” If you refer to an existing image, make sure it is attached to the current request.

Find results again in Conversation Files or Personal Space. To reuse a result in other research, choose “Use in Conversation” or “Add to Project Materials” where those actions are available.

Image vectorization

To convert an existing image, open “Research Toolbox → Image Vectorization,” upload the image, and review its conversion record. When it is complete, download the SVG, PDF, or PPTX formats provided by that result.

Vector conversion is a separate processing step. Generated images do not all automatically include an editable SVG. After conversion, check text, fine lines, and shapes to confirm that the result meets your needs.

Legacy full canvas

The standalone Scientific Drawing Editor retains an Excalidraw canvas and conversation panel for dragging, arranging, and annotating elements. It still uses the project selected on that page. Restore previous conversations through the editor's history entry.

Changing projects in the legacy editor changes the canvas and history scope. This differs from clicking a project in the research sidebar, which only expands its conversations. To reuse a finished result over time, explicitly add it to a project in the editor.

Suggestions

First list the components, relationships, and reading order, then specify colors, label language, and aspect ratio. After generation, verify scientific relationships, units, and text. Available export formats and resolution depend on the result. For publication, follow the target journal's image requirements.

Generation and vectorization are billed separately under their respective service rules. If an operation fails, check the error and charge/refund details. If credits are insufficient, follow the prompt to purchase or redeem credits.
