What is a P2D file?
P2D is a file extension that is used by CAD software called PointLineCAD 2D. It is an application characterized by high efficiency. It was developed by Point Line CAD AG and is most often used in architectural structures, but also for the creation of other technical illustrations.
P2D is a file used to store 2D drawings made in PointLineCAD 2D. This allows such projects to be exchanged between users, as well as saving infinite works for later editing.

How to open P2D files
If you cannot open the P2D file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports P2D among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the P2D file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the P2D format files
The inability to open and operate the P2D file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the PointLineCAD 2D Drawing file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a P2D file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the P2D file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the P2D from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the P2D format
- The P2D file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the P2D file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a P2D file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the P2D file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the P2D file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the P2D file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.P2D) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected P2D file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the P2D file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. P2D) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
