Convert MindCAD and DesignCAD drawings (B2D) online for free
The converter easily converts your B2D drawings to various formats - free and online. No MindCAD 2D or or other Cad software needed.
To convert other file formats to the "Footwear Design & Drafting" file type, you need software like MindCAD 2D or a similar tool.
The .b2d extension describes two distinct but proprietary CAD formats that cannot be opened by standard image viewers or web browsers. Most commonly (48%), it is a MindCAD 2D design file used specifically in the footwear and leather goods industry. These files contain intricate vector patterns, grading information for shoe sizes, and material specifications saved in a Microsoft Compound container. Less frequently (17%), the file is a DesignCAD 2D drawing created by IMSI's drafting software.
The primary challenge with .b2d files is vendor lock-in; they are not compatible with AutoCAD or Adobe Illustrator out of the box. Users often encounter these files when retrieving archived manufacturing data or legacy engineering schematics. To use these files in modern workflows, they must be converted. For manufacturing and further editing, the best target is DXF, which preserves vector paths. For sharing, viewing, or archiving, converting to PDF is recommended to ensure the design is visible without requiring expensive industry-specific software.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our B2D converter.
