Welcome to the LibreCAD Wiki!
Introduction
LibreCAD (originally CADuntu) is a free and open-source 2D CAD application, which uses Qt (a cross-platform application framework). The project started around 2010 as a fork of QCAD 2.0.5.0. Support for reading DWG files was added with libdxfrw. Support for writing MakerCAM SVG files was also added. The release of 2.1.0 increased customization of the user interface. You can now create custom toolbars and menus, and dramatically change the appearance (among other things).
