LibreCAD is an open source alternative to the famous professional 2D and
3D modeling and design suite Auto CAD. Managing to emulate and in some
cases surpass capabilities of AutoCAD, LibreCAD represent the fantastic
opportunity for every novice and professional to enter into the world of
2D design by accessing industry leading tools that are available for
everyone for free! Created in an open source environment that was
focused on bringing quick updates to LibreCAD users on all supported
platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix-like, Mac OS X), this application today
represents one of the best tools for modeling 2D design, paid or free
alike.
Interface of LibreCAD was created from the ground up to
enable all users easy way of accessing all the necessary tools for
manipulating 2D designs without sacrificing anything. Canvas area is
big, drawing tools, selectors, layer list and block lists are all
arranged around it, and large amount of additional tools is accessible
either via contextual menus or fixed menus that are arranged on the top
of the app (covering everything that you would need, including - Select,
Draw, Dimension, Modify, Snap, Layer and Block). Even though this app
had its first release in December of 2011, after a very short while it
managed to attract large user base and development support.
