LibreCAD
LibreCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D design. It is free and open-source, and available for Unix/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Most of the interface and handle concepts are analogous to AutoCAD, making it easier to use for users with experience in this type of commercial CAD application.
Around 2010, the QCAD Community Edition 2.0.5 was forked to start the development of what is now known as LibreCAD. Originally, the GUI was based on Qt3 libraries.
CADuntu — was the initial QCAD CE fork project name. It was used for a short time and, after discussion with users, has been replaced by LibreCAD, as to not be associated with Ubuntu and Canonical Ltd.
The main feature of LibreCAD 1 was porting of its graphical user interface (GUI) code to Qt4, so it can run identically on several platforms.
LibreCAD 2 implements Qt5 and Qt6 library support.
As of 2024, LibreCAD development split into two branches:
LibreCAD 3 — is an experimental fully rewritten from scratch LibreCAD version, designed to be GPLv3 compatible with LibreDWG, with Lua-scripting, Ribbon UI.
