2-D draft, 2-D design or 2-D drawing
Explanation:
These are the three terms that can be used. I am 100% sure because I translate 3D and 2D design software full-time as an in-house senior technical translator for a company that produces/develops this kind of CAD software in the US. You can use any of these three options with confidence.

2D derivatons or 2D designs

Explanation:
How about 2D designs? see reference below:

http://www.ist.fujitsu.com/global/tech/cad.html
ICAD/MX represents the next generation of the 3D CAD system, an advanced CAD system for machine design in 2D & 3D coexistence design environment. In its role as a 2D & 3D hybrid CAD system for designing electrical and precision machinery, ICAD/MX offers two design environments: 2D & 3D fusion-type and an all-in-one analytical simulation

or 2D derivations:

... in Genius 14. After you have generated the contours of your 3D assembly drawing,
components are saved as external parts and the 2D derivations are created. ...

sorry for the typo - should be 2D derivations, of course ;-)

derived 2D views / drawings / geometry

Explanation:
Hallo Kim,

bei den 2D-Ableitungen handelt es sich um abgeleitete 2D-Zeichnungen, z.B. von einem 3D-Modell. Wenn Du in Google nach "derived 2D" und z.B. Autocad suchst, findest Du eine ganze Menge passende Beispiele.

Viele Grüße
Claudia
