"I'm so thankful that a logical drafting program for 2 and 3-D designers is finally available. After many years of spending time, money and equipment on hard to use drafting programs that were developed for engineers, I can't believe how logical, easy and useful Concepts is to my current work loads. I heartily recommend it for any marine interior design firm - whether a one person or multi person office." Judy Bell-Davis, Bell Design Group
Concepts 2D is a powerful yet easy to use design, drafting and technical illustration tool. With a comprehensive array of drafting and annotation tools, Concepts 2D, is the perfect choice for producing anything from simple sketches through to fully dimensioned, standards compliant, production ready drawings. Concepts is leading the way into the new emerging Conceptual Computer Aided Design (CCAD) community that augments traditional MCAD and Enterprise solutions.
Usability
Whereas MCAD and Enterprise solutions focus on functionality, Concepts 2D focuses on usability first. The simple clean user interface combined with intelligent snaps and integrated design methods make Concepts a breeze to get up to speed.
Versatile Drafting Methods
Concepts 2D supports an integrated collection of geometry creation and editing tools. You choose the tools or combination of tools you need for the task at hand. Notable tools include numerous spline creation and modification commands, numerous arc and conic construction methods, filleting and chamfering. All drafting operations transparently support associativity for rapid design iterations.
Concepts 2D is the indusrtry’s first 2D drafting tool capable of assimilating 3D data in a meaningful manner. Concepts 2D can automatically create precise wireframe and hidden line drawings from any 3D component or assembly, including those imported from Catia or Pro/E, with just a few mouse clicks . This unique functionality almost entirely eliminates the laborious and time consuming task of generating production ready 2D drawings manually.
Share Data with MCAD and Enterprise Solutions
Unlike other conceptual drafting tools, Concepts 2D uses an industry standard precise kernel that facilitates the sharing of design information using SAT, IGES, STEP, CATIA V4, and DXF/DWG.
Get to the market faster with Cadsoft Solutions Concepts 2D software, the new standard in Conceptual Computer Aided Drafting (CCAD). Innovative and productive, Concepts 2D offers the most time saving capabilities of any conceptual drafting product on the market.
