About Auto2D

Auto2D is a CAD software from Vectra that provides 2D drafting and design tools for professionals in engineering and architecture. It includes features such as layer management, dimensioning tools, and block creation, so users can create precise technical drawings. Auto2D supports various file formats, allowing for easy integration with other CAD systems, and offers extensive customization options to suit different project requirements. This software is designed for both novice and experienced users, providing resources for learning and advanced functionality for complex designs. Key capabilities: layer management dimensioning tools block creation file format support customization options Best for: professionals in engineering and architecture that need efficient 2D drafting solutions.

Auto2D by Vectra Automation Inc. is a powerful Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution dedicated to solving a critical bottleneck in the manufacturing sector: the manual creation of 2D Engineering Drawings from 3D CAD models. Functioning as a high-performance add-on, Auto2D automates every aspect of the drafting process, from applying title block data to complex GD&T and Tolerance Stack-up, drastically accelerating the design-to-production timeline from several weeks to just hours, ensuring standard compliance and virtually eliminating QC errors. The software's appeal lies in its reliable, scalable cloud-based processing and wide-ranging compatibility across all major CAD platforms, including SolidWorks, NX, CATIA V5, and Inventor. This versatility makes it ideal for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in demanding industries like Automotive, Aerospace, and Defense. Deployment options are flexible, available as both On-Premise (Windows) and Cloud Hosted solutions, ensuring data security and accommodating various infrastructure needs. From a business perspective, Auto2D offers clear value by promising up to a 50% reduction in drawing creation costs. It employs a consumption-based pricing model, where costs scale directly with the volume of designs processed.
