A 2D Canvas is the frame type for 2D drawings in Blockpad. It can be a top level frame or a subframe.

2D Canvas supports drawing lines and shapes using point snapping. It is great for problem sketches, diagrams, and layouts.

Also, text lines and dimension labels act like spreadsheet cells, so you can perform calculations and reference values in a drawing.
