Creo Layout: 2D CAD Software
Enable multiple users to work on the same design, have control over entities you want to drive 3D designs with, and clearly understand the impact of 2D changes to 3D models
Move seamlessly between 2D and 3D design data
Creo Layout is an easy-to-use 2D CAD tool that lets your product design team create detailed concepts in 2D, complete with information such as dimensions and annotations.
You can then produce 3D geometry directly from that 2D data without the need to switch CAD systems or handoff 2D data to 3D CAD specialists. Instead, you leverage their 2D data to produce flawless 3D models that accurately reflect your original design intent. And by automating the process, you can be confident that your CAD deliverables will be seamlessly updated on a continuous basis.
Creo Layout features and benefits
With Creo Layout, you can:
- Generate 2D designs to build 3D models in Creo Parametric;
- Capture product design intent with a full-featured set of tools for creating, editing, and managing 2D geometry;
- Gain flexibility and iterate design concepts easily by creating 2D designs that are fully or partially constrained, or completely unconstrained;
- Avoid errors and delays by reducing the need to interpret and recreate 2D designs in 3D;
- Leverage existing 2D data such as DWG, DXF, and IGES files, as well as cross-sections of 3D models created with Creo Parametric software;
- Accelerate time to market and encourage innovation by enabling concurrent design and engineering of new products;
- Leverage 2D drawings for downstream design of structures and assemblies; and
- Manage propagation of changes from 2D design to 3D models using update controls.
