Creo Layout is a stand-alone 2D CAD app that lets users have the best of both 2D and 3D worlds.

Creo Layout is a stand-alone 2D CAD app that lets users have the best of both 2D and 3D worlds. Users can quickly create detailed design concepts in 2D, add detailing information such as dimensions and annotations, and then leverage the 2D data in their 3D designs using Creo Parametric. Design data moves seamlessly between apps and the design intent is fully retained. Other benefits include the capability to quickly navigate larger drawings with zoom viewports and filmstrips, as well as trace sketches and cross sections or other 2D files such as DXF, IGES, DWG, and DRW.
