What is a B2D file?

B2D files mostly belong to DesignCAD. An B2D file is a file that stores 2D drawing and graphic data. It is mainly used to exchange precise design information in a computer-aided design (CAD) environment.
  • MindCAD 2D Drawing File: Many B2D files use the Microsoft Compound format. This structure can hold layered drawing information, making it a good fit for engineering and design work.
  • DesignCAD 2D Drawing View File: These files also serve as viewing files for 2D designs. They are used to present the design plan clearly. More details are available on the DesignCAD Product Page.
  • Blue Tongue 2D Graphics Data File: A number of B2D files contain graphics data for the Blue Tongue Entertainment game engine, storing simple in-game 2D visual elements.
  • FilExt.com notes: You must use the right CAD or graphics tool to open a B2D file. The internal format, based on Microsoft Compound, lets the file store several streams of data at once. This format is not common in basic image or text files.
