Welcome to the LibreCAD Wiki!
|
Introduction
LibreCAD (originally QCad then CADuntu) is an open source 2D CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. It is based on Qt, which is a leading cross-platform application and UI development framework. LibreCAD can read DWG files (and others) as of the latest Nightly build. It writes DXF files, but can also export SVG, JPG, PNG, PDF and other files. It has layers, blocks, splines, polylines, ellipse tools, advanced tangent line & circle tools, transformation tools, an advanced snapping system and more. Because LibreCAD focuses on 2D geometry it is fast and lightweight, with an installer of less than 30mb. This is the community site which provides semi-static documentation for LibreCAD users and developers. If you wish you get involved with this documentation effort, please visit the LibreCAD Wiki:Community portal page. Content is available under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike. If you wish you get involved in development, then head over to our GitHub repo and get started! If you think you've found a bug or have an idea for an improvement, then head over to the LibreCAD Tracker on Sourceforge. Support is provided by our large dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You can join the community on our forum or live on IRC at freenode.net. |
