IRONCAD DRAFT is the 2D CAD program in the DCS ( IronCAD ), featuring a traditional 2D interface similar to AutoCAD. Create and edit DWG and DXF drawings, draw schematics using the included symbols, and render 3D models from IRONCAD in 2D. Swedish training and support from Solidmakarna.

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


IronCAD DCS (Design Collaboration Suite) is a family of 3D and 2D CAD programs designed around the IRONCAD core.
IronCAD DCS includes these four programs:
This 218-foot ketch, named Hetairos, is the largest yacht Baltic has launched to date and in many ways she remains in a class of her own. A modern high-performance yacht that takes full advantage of Baltic's carbon fibre design and engineering expertise.

Yes. DRAFT opens 3D files created in IRONCAD and imports 3D geometry in neutral formats. The models can be positioned, animated, and rendered using the built-in tools and then depicted on 2D drawings with views, dimensions, and details.
Yes. DRAFT opens, edits, and saves DWG and DXF drawings, so you don't need a separate 2D program to work with your own or your customers' drawings.
Yes. You can create new 2D drawings right away, such as hydraulic diagrams. Standard symbols are included.
IRONCAD includes two 2D environments: the ICD module for quick visualization and dimensioning of 3D models, and the DRAFT environment with the traditional 2D CAD interface. DRAFT as a standalone program is the same environment without 3D modeling: you can open 3D models from IRONCAD or via the Translator add-on and create associative drawings from them, but you cannot create or modify 3D models.
DRAFT is included in the installation file for IronCAD DCS, which can be downloaded for free from our download center. The program requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
