+Although the final robots designs are usually edited in a 2D layout editor due to their complexity, it is often extremely useful to begin design in a 3D CAD software for mechanical engineering before exporting to 2D. These CAD programs usually have many more options for creating complex 2D (and 3D) shapes, dimensioning them, and changing single dimensions and having the rest of the design update around them.
 We usually use Autodesk Fusion 360. SolidWorks is a very similar option.
