Two-dimensional, or 2D CAD software may be pixel or vector based. It helps design professionals to communicate visual ideas quickly, create technical drawings and make changes efficiently. On ArchiExpo, this software is arranged by properties such as intended use (e.g., for architecture, engineering).
While some software packages have many tools, including 3D and rendering capabilities, those offering only basic elements are less flexible but run faster.
Choice will depend on the price of licenses, update frequency and whether the software contains all the tools necessary for the job in question. These may include vector drawing capabilities in 2D or 3D, and special tools for architectural plans.
Ensure that it is compatible with computer hardware and existing software to avoid data corruption and to maximize speed. If the drawings will be shared, verify compatibility with the file formats used by others. Many 2D programs use common formats, such as DXF for vector based drawings and JPG for raster images.
