Online 2D CAD lets you create and edit technical drawings directly in a browser. DXFDraw focuses on precise 2D drafting and DXF workflows rather than 3D modeling.
What is 2D CAD?
2D CAD is computer-aided drafting on a flat X-Y plane. It is used for technical drawings, profiles, fabrication geometry, layouts, details and other work where exact two-dimensional geometry matters more than 3D visualization.
What can you draw in DXFDraw?
Geometry
Lines, rectangles, circles / ellipses, arcs and splines for common technical drawing tasks.
Modify tools
Move, copy, trim, erase, offset, fillet, chamfer and tangent-arc tools for refining geometry.
Annotation
Text, hatch and multiple dimension types for readable technical drawings.
CAD organization
Layers, linetypes, lineweights, transparency, snapping, grid and coordinate feedback.
Why use online 2D CAD?
A browser CAD tool is useful when you want fast access without installing a large desktop application. It can be convenient for reviewing DXF files, making quick corrections, starting a new 2D drawing or preparing geometry for another CAD/CAM workflow.
Start a 2D CAD drawing
Open DXFDraw and work with a blank drawing or an existing supported DXF file.
2D CAD and DXF
DXF is especially common in 2D CAD exchange because geometry can move between design, engineering, CAM and fabrication applications. DXFDraw is built around this workflow: open supported DXF content, work on the drawing, and export supported geometry back to DXF.
Is online CAD a replacement for every desktop CAD system?
No. Large 3D assemblies, specialized industry toolsets, advanced parametric modeling and application-specific workflows may still require dedicated desktop software. DXFDraw is intentionally focused on practical browser-based 2D CAD and DXF work.

Online 2D CAD FAQ
Is DXFDraw free online 2D CAD?
DXFDraw can be opened in a browser without installation and provides practical 2D CAD tools for supported workflows.
Can I create a new drawing without importing DXF?
Yes. DXFDraw can be used as a browser-based 2D drawing workspace as well as a DXF viewer and editor.
Can online 2D CAD work with layers and dimensions?
DXFDraw includes layers, CAD properties and multiple dimension tools alongside drawing and modify tools.
Does DXFDraw do 3D CAD?
DXFDraw is focused on 2D CAD and DXF workflows rather than 3D modeling.
