DRAW’s 2D drafting facilities are designed to be complementary to its main drawing production facilities. 2D drafting allows you to add to drawings such features as notes, plane and boundary lines, keyplans, tables of symbols etc. In addition, backing sheets, overlay sheets and symbol templates may be created.

2D drafting shapes (or primitives) may be positioned explicitly, with a cursor hit or by a construction. Because the principle of point construction can be applied to all DRAW primitives that have a position attribute. Refer to Point and Line Construction for further information. 2D positions generated by a cursor hit will be snapped to a grid position if snapping is ON. Refer to Snapping 2D Points to a Grid for further information.
