Affordable and powerful 2D CAD

IRONCAD DRAFT can open 3D files created in IRONCAD or import 3D geometries in various neutral formats. These 3D models can then be positioned, animated, and rendered using the integrated tools in DRAFT. Use IRONCAD DRAFT to manage 3D models created by customers and colleagues. The 3D files can be easily mapped onto 2D drawings using a familiar user interface and powerful tools for detailed drafting and dimensioning in 2D. Of course, users can also create 2D drawings directly without mapping 3D models. Many people also use DRAFT to manage their own or their clients’ 2D drawings in a cost-effective manner.

When should you choose DRAFT instead of IRONCAD?

DRAFT is IRONCAD's 2D environment as a standalone program. It includes everything except 3D modeling.

IronCAD DRAFT

Pure 2D CAD

Choose DRAFT when

The drawings are created by someone other than the person who creates the 3D model, and they are associatively linked to the 3D model

DWG and DXF drawings from customers should be opened, modified, and saved

Diagrams, such as hydraulic diagrams, are drawn directly in 2D using standard symbols

3D models from other CAD systems are imported using the " Translator " add-on and redrawn

IRONCAD

Complete 3D and 2D CAD

Choose IRONCAD when

If you want to create or modify 3D models, you can only do so in IRONCAD

The same person models, draws, and manages assemblies

You want both 2D environments: ICD for quick rendering and DRAFT for traditional drafting

Many people use both: IRONCAD for designers, and DRAFT for those who work exclusively with drawings.

Both are included in the installation file for IronCAD DCS and can be tested free of charge.
