Before you choose
Match the platform to your workflow
Check the primary platform before choosing a tool. The list includes software for Windows, macOS, web, Android, iOS and Linux.
If you move between locations or devices, review platform coverage and the Offline mode field together.
Check drawing and document support
Use the Native DWG support and DXF support fields to compare file compatibility with your existing drawings.
PDF underlay support can matter when a PDF is the reference for a new drawing.
Look at drafting controls
Parametric constraints can help define relationships in a drawing. Compare this field with the kind of edits your plans require.
Batch printing is worth checking when you prepare several drawing sheets at once.
Separate free access from trials
Read the Free plan and Paid from fields together. A free plan and a paid starting price describe different ways to begin or expand use.
The Free trial field shows whether a trial is listed. Check the pricing note for the term and any stated billing unit.
Questions
What platforms does this 2D CAD list cover?
The entries include Windows, macOS, web, Android, iOS and Linux software. Check the Primary platform field for the platform attached to a specific tool.
How can I find a no-cost starting option?
Use the Free plan field. The pricing note can also show whether paid features start at a stated amount.
What is the difference between a free plan and a free trial?
A free plan is listed as an ongoing plan. A free trial is a trial offer. Check both fields and read the pricing note for the stated trial term.
Which file formats should I compare?
Compare Native DWG support and DXF support. If a PDF is your reference drawing, check PDF underlay support too.
Does the list show offline use?
Yes. Offline mode is one of the comparison fields, so review it alongside the tool's primary platform.
