READ NOW: When is 2D Enough?

There are many reasons that 2D CAD is still so prolific.  Many projects, including publicly procured projects, still require 2D deliverables.  Some industries are somewhat better suited for 2D over 3D, such as Electrical or Facility Management.  And, many companies are living happily ever after in their 2D world and have no desire to change.  The reasons are vast and varied – and the file format of choice is DWG.

While we do indeed live in a 3D World – there are many who are still thriving in 2D.  Lynn Allen says, “Thrive in whatever world you desire – but don’t spend extra money doing it!”
