I find IPE to be a life-savior when it comes to generating physics illustrations which come with their share of math toppings. The editor has nice utilities for latching on to the boundaries, intersection, center etc of geometric figures. The spline tool is the best I have seen anywhere. Layers are handled with grace. LaTeX is rendered instantly. It is very easy to produce a multipage document. What more can one possibly want?

CAD options on Linux are more limited than windows or mac but they do exist. The industry standard for 2d CAD files is the .dxf file format. I use LibreCAD. https://librecad.org/ The UI is a little clunky and eccentric in places but it is feature complete for 2d CAD drawings. Source: about 1 year ago

It seems like a low risk purchase for $1, however, there are free options available too such as https://librecad.org/ . Or see https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/117ki1c/comment/j9v0v37/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 for an older Autocad clone. Beckercad 2D seems like a niche product so I would probably invest my time learning something that is more mainstream. Source: about 1 year ago
For 2d stuff I tend to use Libra cad Https://librecad.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
