For 3D computer-aided design, SolidWorks is one of the leading pieces of CAD software. Though it also supports 2D designs, there are alternatives that support 2D designs that have more robust functionality in that regard. SolidWorks is only available for Windows, but there are several alternatives available on devices that run macOS, Linux-based operating systems, Android’s Google Play Store, and the App Store (with CAD applications that are specifically optimized for iPad as well).
