VersaCAD 2D Drawing Format | Archway Systems | CAD Files |
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. The software is used by professional architects, engineers, electricians and other blueprints creators.
File Extension Details:
The 2D file extension is associated with the VersaCAD file created when a user saves a 2D drawing. The files are saved in a specific format that is only readable in the VersaCAD program. VersaCAD can also save other types of files, including 3D drawings in the 3D, DOC, DXF, and DWG file formats. These 2D files are vector graphics meaning they store precise information on coordinate points connected by lines, making them ideal for designs that need precision measurements.
How can I open a 2D File?
VersaCAD software is needed to open these 2D files on both Mac OS and Microsoft Windows computers. There is no known conversion utility capable of converting a 2D file to any other format. Free viewers like Autodesk Design Review can give users just enough access to display and print the file but there is no option to save the changes.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .2D) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .2D extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .2D file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .2D extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .2D extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .2D file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .2D file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .2D file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .2D file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .2D file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
