Software for sketching concepts

Creo Sketch is a stand-alone 2D design application that lets users quickly draw or sketch their ideas as easily as if they were drawing on a napkin. Users can add color or other special effects to the sketch to transform a quick sketch into finished artwork. Designers, marketing, and suppliers can now communicate their ideas more effectively by sharing digital sketches created in the intuitive 2D CAD app. Creo Sketch 2D design data can be seamlessly shared and reused in other Creo apps such as Creo Parametric as a trace sketch. Designers can use Creo Sketch with tablets to further boost the number of design iterations for the best-looking product.
The software is a free download.
