![]() I was looking for a more modern comparison (since this one in 2013: ) between QCAD and LibreCAD and came across this: - from my initial testing I seem to agree with the conclusions: that QCAD seems to have resolved its closed development model, and is actively maintained as well as has much more mature features (not to mention the most important one, which is out of the box DWG support). We should instead promote QCAD and LibreCAD. I used to use Draftsight too, but I think in the interest of the OSArch mission for free software, we should not mention Draftsight, NanoCAD, BricsCAD, or really any of the other proprietary alternatives. It's also a good way to cut funding from Autodesk, who have been milking it for far too long than is good for consumers. In my opinion, getting people off AutoCAD is a nice quick win for free software, so making this page well written and provide easy steps for people to switch is a high priority. Thanks for all the replies! I've posted what I've learned from this thread as well as my own experience here: I can open the urban plans provided by municipality of Vienna and work with them reasonably, which is quite ok.Worst case Autodesk provides a free viewer and converter to dxf, which is official, so theoretically better than for example archicad import. We worked with dxfs in the past, I've never had problems with receiving dxf from consultants on request.Some sort of programming capability as lisp in autocad would obviously be a benefit, but as the only serious use of a drawing software nowadays is simple sketching over referenced plans I don't find it important. The other 95% of extra functions autocad has are principally useless. I really miss proper referencing and layout system. I prefer that it is strictly 2D, as I have in the 10 years of my autocad experience never seen anyone meaningfuly use 3D drawings. I worked with autocad and rhino extensively and learning librecad after that was very easy. I use librecad mainly to prepare drawings for laser cutting. ![]() It would be nice to know at what scale of project it has be used in.Īnd then of course, I'd love to know your usecase for using it! At work, I rarely, if ever, need to touch 2D drawings - it's either 3D models, or PDFs. It opened fine, but was laggy to pan around.
