What is QCAD?

QCAD is a completely free and open-source application tailored for two-dimensional computer-aided drafting (CAD). It empowers users to create a wide range of technical drawings, encompassing designs for architectural structures, interior layouts, mechanical parts, and assorted diagrams and schematics. The software is designed to operate seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms. Its source code is released under the GPL version 3 (GPLv3), which is a widely accepted open-source license. With an emphasis on modularity, extensibility, and portability, QCAD is particularly recognized for its intuitive user interface, making it a practical and powerful 2D CAD tool suitable for users of all experience levels. Individuals can easily utilize QCAD to design and adjust various elements such as points, lines, arcs, circles, ellipses, splines, polylines, text, dimensions, hatches, fills, and raster images. Additionally, the program features a robust ECMAScript (JavaScript) scripting interface that facilitates advanced capabilities, complemented by several efficient entity selection tools that improve the drafting experience. In summary, QCAD is a standout option for both beginners and seasoned professionals eager to craft intricate 2D designs, offering flexibility and power in a single package. With its rich feature set and user-centric design, it continues to gain popularity among the CAD community.

    Basic 2D CAD where you do not want to use pencil

    Date: Mar 02 2021
    Summary

    Simple is beauty, and even better when works well. Nothing fancy, but nothing to overpower your PC like Acad does.

    Positive

    Simple and easy intuitive interface. Good for 2D drawings, charts or just view and edit .DWG or DXF drawings. No need to spend money on overpriced AutoCad or Visio.

    Negative

    It is not designed to compete w/ AutoCad, but read and wright to this format.
