Compare / Archee Studio vs Zoo

Zoo models the part. Archee Studio delivers the design package.

Zoo is the better pick for 3D parts. Archee Studio is built for the calculations, 2D drawings and report.

The A0 assembly sheet: front and side views of the two-stage coaxial gearbox, a sectioned plan view with numbered parts, the parts list, the technical characteristics table and an unsigned title block.Real output · A0 assembly, our demo run

Questions

Does Zoo export DXF?

Yes, one sketch at a time, for uses such as laser cutting and sharing 2D geometry. It is a sketch export rather than a titled, dimensioned sheet with a parts list, which is what a finished engineering drawing needs.

Could I use both?

Yes. Zoo for parts in 3D, Archee Studio for the calculated 2D drawings and report.
