In addition, it is easy for you to customize the user interface to quickly access the most common commands in your day to day process. IRONCAD DRAFT XG utilizes the industry standard Windows 2007 Fluent / Ribbon user interface designed to streamline the design process by providing the most common tasks directly to the user in a common grouped interface. Streamlined User Interface & Customization Other utilities such as Block association, Command Editor, Format Painter, Properties Window, and the Text Editor are all intelligent functions that support quick and efficient methods to complete complex engineering tasks. IRONCAD DRAFT supports powerful input options during feature creation to quickly specify size and other options such as automatic centerlines. It offers fundamental 2D creation and editing tools in addition to mechanically focused utilities and parametric standard parts, giving engineers the ability to easily create fully detailed designs.ĭetailing is powerful and complete offering the ability to create precise 2D entities including lines, parallel lines, arc, circles, rectangles, elliptical curves, polygons, splines, and reference entities such as centerlines and hatch patterns. IRONCAD DRAFT XG is built on the combination of IRONCAD 3D and CAXA 2D technologies that have thousands of existing users and a wealth of experience in their respective areas making it a production ready solution. Easily adapt to the IRONCAD DRAFT interface from its familiar environment that offers many commands commonly found in AutoCAD. Open, edit, and save existing DWG file generated by AutoCAD® to share and communicate with design team members accurately.

Today, IronCAD offers IRONCAD DRAFT (a component of the Design Collaboration Suite), an extremely powerful 2D mechanical drafting tool with an easy to learn, industry standard user interface and a unique 3D integration capability, enabling users work in 2D but also to view, leverage, analyze, render and reference 3D model data created by suppliers customers and colleagues. While the evolution of 3D modeling has made designing products easier for some, for many working in 3D is not a necessity but it is beneficial. To these users, drafting is an art form, not merely a series of lines on a piece of paper. They prefer the ability to control and craft their drawings and to detail them clearly and efficiently. For decades users have needed to choose between working in 2D or 3D, today there is another option! – Historically, designers have wanted to work in 2D.
