APO RESEARCH · REPORT
2D CAD
Two-dimensional CAD software creates and edits geometry in a drawing plane. Lines, arcs, dimensions, layers and annotations communicate a design.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Units, coordinate systems, dimension rules and revision control determine whether a drawing is usable downstream. A visually complete drawing can still omit the information needed for fabrication or approval.
What turns activity into demand
Software capabilities support a communication task. Interoperability and required annotations connect the tool to the delivered document. Separate CAD licences, drafting work and downstream manufacturing. Drawing count is not the same as accepted design count.
The commercial boundary
Separate CAD licences, drafting work and downstream manufacturing. Drawing count is not the same as accepted design count.
