Functions

  VIACAD 2D INCLUDES OVER 275 DRAWING AND EDITING TOOLS.

Create precision drawings with the standard tools you're used to and some innovative tools you'll absolutely love. Each drawing tool offers different options for creating objects in your drawings. Powerful tools like rectangular and polar (circular) grids help you create more precise and complex designs. A whole range of wrapping options are available for modifications. With the built-in Region Trim function, you can do in one click what requires dozens of steps in most programs.

• Points, lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, splines
• 2D geometric and dimensional constraints to manage geometric relationships between 2D shapes
• The drawing tools offer several methods for
• Copy/move, scale, rotate, mirror and stretch.
• Rectangular grid with X and Y control
• Polar grid with adjustable angles and distances
• Cutting tools include cutting, expanding and breaking.
• Adjustable thread and chamfer
• And much more!

 INTUITIVE design and machining tools

Accurate design is easy with ViaCAD! We designed it to be easy to use and intuitive.

The LogiCursor™ anticipates your next action and guides the cursor to possible stitch selections in the design.

The gripper provides a drag-and-drop function for easy design editing.

Customizable grids make it even easier by allowing precise drag-and-drop into rectangular, polar (circular), and isometric layouts.

  DIMENSION E DESIGNSDIMENSIONS

ViaCAD 2D is a robust construction documentation tool with over 20 customizable dimension styles, including standard dimension formats.

Do you want to import a 3D model that you have created in another software to document it in ViaCAD 2D? With our Auto 3D to 2D feature, you can create multiple 2D views.

Other interesting features help you document and annotate your projects:

• 26 dimensional styles
• Import of bitmaps for logos and reference images
• Spell checking adds another level of precision.
• One-click fill and hatch

 ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

ViaCAD 2D allows you to create scale drawings of buildings and room plans.

For example, custom walls are drawn using the thicknesses for the various components, allowing you to represent the actual dimensions of the walls and the dimensions of the materials that compose them.

Other notable architectural features are:

• Walls are automatically trimmed at intersections.
• The individual wall elements make it possible to visually distinguish the internal walls from the external ones.
• Intelligent "drag and drop" insertion of doors and windows.
• Instant architectural details with auto-scaling or custom door and window labels with captions.

New functions

DESIGN AND COMMENT UPDATES

IMPROVE THELINE AND THE CIRCLE

Excellent for drawing precise curves on rough sketches. Use this tool to best fit a line or circle from a sample of dots.

ANGLE TOLERANCEUPDATES

The Angle Tolerance interface has been updated to dynamically provide data from the Inspector dialog.

USER FRIENDSHIP IMPROVEMENTS

Save layers with view

You now have the ability to save levels associated with view alignment.

REPEAT PREVIOUSCOMMANDS

This right-click feature saves you a lot of time by providing you with a list of the last drawing commands you used. Select an item from the list to quickly switch tools.

You can now work with file types from these other programs:

• PDF import
• Import from Adobe Illustrator
• Import/Export from SketchUp 2020
