The challenge is how to adopt and integrate 2D into the 3D design process. Designing with 3D offers significant productivity gains, but the steep learning curve inherent in the need to preplan history based design is often barriers to entry.  \nThis whitepaper discusses the capabilities of Solid Edge® software with synchronous technology and how it  \naccelerates adoption by leveraging 2D drawings and design methods. Users can create and optimize layouts in 2D, but later them use in 3D. Both 3D design and editing can utilize similar 2D concepts and 2D drawings be generated of the 3D models, providing comprehensive design capabilities. Because this design technology is feature-based and historyfree, it is similar to the way that 2D systems work accelerating 2D to 3D to 2D.  \nA white paper issued by: Siemens PLM Software. 3  \nWhite paper | Thriving in a 2D to 3D to 2D world  \nIntroduction  \nMost companies see the need to move to 3D, but do not want to abandon their 2D skills and drawings. Without the ability to leverage both in 3D, users are left with a tough challenge.  \nThe power of 3D CAD is known, but how to best adopt and utilize 2D isn’t clear. Complete abandonment of 2D isn’t realistic because 2D is still very capable for schematic and layout construction, while required for drawing generation. There needs to be a system that offers both a path to 3D and continued 2D use in a single system.  \nAccording to the Aberdeen Group’s findings, most organizations mix 2D and 3D during the transition.  \nThis white paper looks at how engineers can best make use of 2D, minimize the change during the move to 3D and leverage what they have and know afterwards.  \nThis white paper discusses the key uses of 2D in a 3D design environment, how to best l","cbCaiqDHGJ4DPfPx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqDHGJ4DPfPx","pdf",694346,13,"English","# Executive summary\n# Introduction\n# Use 2D where it makes sense\n## Creating 2D layouts\n## Optimizing 2D drawings\n## Leveraging 2D into 3D design\n## Creating 3D parts from 2D drawings\n## Define the parts list before 3D\n## Using 2D layouts to drive 3D assemblies\n# 3D with the simplicity of 2D\n## 3D model creation\n## 3D editing\n## Handling imported 3D models\n# Getting 2D from 3D\n## You can get there from here\n## Making drawing refinements\n# Conclusion\n# Further reading","[{\"question\":\"Why do companies need a 2D-to-3D transition strategy instead of abandoning 2D entirely?\",\"answer\":\"Many organizations must keep producing schematics, layouts, and 2D drawing content while moving to 3D.
