There are some optional software when it comes to graphic overlay design. Let's take a look at popular ones.

1. AutoCAD（Auto Computer-Aided Design）

AutoCAD is quite popular in engineering design and drawing. It also play big roles in the design of graphic overlays. It provides a wealth of drawing tools and functions inside to draw, edit and modify geometric figures. Designers can create and modify the structure, size, and layout of membrane panels with AutoCAD. They design technical drawings and structural drawings.

2. SolidWorks

SolidWorks is a three-dimensional computer-aided design software widely used in mechanical design and manufacturing. It has powerful modeling and assembly capabilities that help designers create complex 3D membrane panel models. We can perform parametric design, assembly simulation and engineering analysis through SolidWorks to achieve full control of graphic overlay design.

3. Adobe Illustrator

Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editing software, specially used for creative design and illustration. Although it is mainly oriented to graphic design, it's also good at appearance design and pattern drawing of graphic overlays. Adobe Illustrator provides a wealth of artboard tools and effects, allowing you to draw various shapes, lines, and patterns, and adjust colors, light and shadow to make the design more attractive and personalized.

4. CorelDRAW

CorelDRAW is a vector graphics editing software similar to Adobe Illustrator. It provides a wealth of drawing tools and special effects to achieve creative drawing, typesetting and pattern design. CorelDRAW has a user-friendly interface and powerful functions, suitable for designers and producers at different levels.

5. Altium Designer

Altium Designer is a professional electronic design automation (EDA) software suitable for the design and manufacturing of electronic products and circuit boards. For designs that require the integration of graphic overlays with electronic circuits, Altium Designer provides powerful circuit design, simulation, and layout tools to achieve the perfect combination.

The above are just some of the software commonly used in graphic overlay design. Each software has its specific advantages and uses. Designers can choose the software that suits them according to their own needs and proficiency. At the same time, with the development of technology and changes in needs, those software is constantly being updated and evolved, providing designers with creative tools.
