What is 2D file?
The 2D file extension is used for 2D VersaCAD drawing files. These files are made with VersaCAD computer aided design (CAD) software, a popular program for creating technical drawings for building plans, scaffolding, cabinetry and various other applications. VersaCAD drawings are vector graphic files that store information on dot patterns called pixels. This information can be scaled up or down as needed so the drawing can be used on projects of any size. [ ⏩ ] 2D file extension
What is BMP file?
The .BMP file extension is a raster graphics file type used to store bitmap digital images. Bitmap images are made up of individual pixels – each with its own specific colour value. These images are ideal for high-resolution graphical elements such as logos and line drawings because they can be scaled to any size without losing any of the image's visual fidelity. Due to the large file sizes, BMPs are best used for illustrations or web site graphics that are only displayed at a certain size. [ ⏩ ] BMP file extension
How to convert the file from 2D to BMP?
To successfully convert the 2D file to BMP, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.2D). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case BMP (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than BMP).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. 2D to BMP. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting 2D files to BMP files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension BMP, while before this step we had the 2D file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new BMP file, or not.
