2D CAD Remains Popular for Mechanical Design

Digital Engineering - By Randall Newton - February 23, 2024

A review of most publications and websites covering mechanical design gives the impression our industry has moved on from 2D drafting to 3D modeling. These models provide downstream utility for applications such as model-based design, digital twin and additive manufacturing (AM). 

The reality is that more seats of 2D CAD are still in use today for mechanical design than 3D CAD. Why....

Direct Transfer from Cadenas to IronCAD.

As a note to IronCAD and Inovate users, many may not be aware of the ability for the included free add-on CADENAS that you can do a direct transfer into your open IronCAD scene. This is great and eliminates the need to download from Cadenas and then import into IronCAD. By not only providing 3D CAD ready models, but to direct import them directly into your scene is a great time-saver.

IronCAD® Design Collaboration Suite™ 2024 Service Pack 1 released.

This service pack fortifies the quality and reliability of our latest milestone release, IronCAD 2024, ensuring an enhanced user experience for you and your customers.


In addition to bolstering the core functionalities of IronCAD 2024, we are proud to introduce our new Architectural & Viewing Translator ("A&VTransPlus"). This powerful add-on translator expands import/export capabilities specifically tailored for the architectural engineering construction (AEC) fields, now including Revit and IFC Read/Write functionalities. A&VTransPlus is an additional licensed translator option that is available for IRONCAD and INOVATE only. Note: Customers do not need to have Native Translator prior to adding A&VTransPlus (It can run independently or alongside Native Translator).


The list price for Architectural & Viewing Translator ("A&VTransPlus") is $395. We will have a promotion available for customers that already have Native Translator to receive a $100 discount when adding A&VTransPlus that will run through 2024.


The following are the supported formats for the A&VTransPlus formats:


Revit R/W - Version 2015 to 2023. Note: Write is only to Revit 2023 and current release of Revit Write is unsupported for support. We will follow-up with an update that will be officially supported once available.


Also included is a complimentary feature enhancement: the addition of a GLTF write format to the standard IronCAD product. This means that you can now enjoy enhanced export options without the need for additional translator packages. It's our way of streamlining customer workflows and boosting efficiency.


For the GLTF Writer added to the standard product, the supported version is: GLTF Writer - Version 2.0
