  • Excellent program, works well and does its job. I wish there was a convenient function to convert CAD files in DWG format to PDF from the command line for Linux too
  • O programa é leve muito prático e lê arquivos dwg, além de ser livre de código aberto. Gostei muito e uso bastante em alguns projetos de planta baixa e cortes,. Muito bom mesmo, vale a pena baixar.
  • overall I'm happy I found this - I have an older 2012 autocad I still use on my desktop but this is an ideal CAD to use on my laptop and for general use when I really do not need to power of a full blown 3D CAD. For the most part I just need 2D views for laying out a woodworking project or similar task. As long as I have dwg support, its easy enough to share my plans between PCs - for the most part I'm just doing drafting to enable me to generate construction drawings versus 3D rendering of a final product. This program has proven extremely beneficial and I appreciate the effort to maintain it and improve it. Those like me, now retired can find commercial software hard to justify the expense. These Libre projects an incredibly helpful resource!
  • It's never easy for me to learn how to use new software, and I'd be lying if I said I never got aggravated trying to use LibreCAD, but I have been using it for quite a few years now and have become quite comfortable with it. It takes a while to learn its quirks and how to work within its limitation, (e.g. knowing to do a "print preview" before trying to export a pdf) but I am exceedingly grateful to the quiet geniuses who have made it available to us. Bravo!

  • Thanks for make this free software,,, 👍👍👍
  • Thank you very much for the program under a free open source license!
  • Needed an inexpensive CAD solution for a minor project and loaded LC. I had one or two glitches ( all mine ) but had a dimensioned drawing out the next morning. I know how difficult these packages are to build so top marks to the developers.
  • Thank´s for your work ! It´s a very good tool for my work as an interior designer !
  • Being free open source project, I don't expect business-grade things on it like instant support or integrated help. But the program itself does its work pretty well.
  • Very useful, excellent lite alternative to expensive commercial packages, when there is no need for 3D. There are couple of bugs, but you get used to them and it is possible to avoid their impact.
  • I am not so impressed. I have not yet found he most important feature, "Object info", essential if I want to have any degree of control of what you are drawing. And the "librecad.org" website is not responding, so "help" is not available.
  • Pretty good, good job devs!
  • Good project.
  • Linux Mint, Mate, 17.2 There is no integrated help. The on line documentation is extremely hard to find, incomplete and inaccurate. After hours-and-hours of trying to make sense of the manual, I gave up. It is NOT a free software. One pays for it with his time. IE: wasting my life.

  • I prefer LibreCad for geometric construction. This program is lightweight and fast. It reads DWG files, and can export to SVG.

  • Hi, I just downloaded this nice drafting package. I have to agree with the rest of the community that it is a great program considering that it is free. I have only three comments, 1) The help manual is a little out of date with the latest update of the software, but this isn't a serious problem. 2) I would like to print the help manual but I am reluctant to do so because the graphics of the screen have a black background which uses a huge amount of ink. The drawing area is black so it is expected that the graphics would also be the same color. It would be nice if the background color of the drawing area was white. This would save a lot if ink when a person wants to print the manual. 3) It appears that printing to an 8.5 x 11 paper seems to be a problem. I can see what I want when I click on "Print Preview" but when I go to print it, nothing is sent to my printer. I personally find it hard to look at drawings that have a black background. I am an mechanical engineer and most of the drafting packages at work do not use a black background.

  • Its Work!!! Thanks!!!!!

  • Anything later than 1.0.1 doesn't work with OSX 10.6.8 - you need to upgrade to at least Mountain Lion (10.8). Annoying for those of us still happy with 10.6.8
  • Good Idea, I was looking for a replacement of Autosketch and DXF compatible. It often crashes (fortunatly, there is an auto backup) It terribly lacks of integrated help (license problem ?), The on line documentation is incomplete, out of date, or boring (long text without formatting) and hard to find. After a getting started, and learn some shortcuts, learn the behaviour, the origins, the relative, absolute coordinates, you can produce respectful sketches. It is not trivial, you have to practice. There are still major bugs, anoying bug (snapping problem...), runtime crash BUT it is highly developped, and bugs are quickly fixed. There is a version 3 in preparation. To resume, it can be an Autoskectch alternative (be aware of scaling, dimensions, unities, codepage, thickness...) that is compatible with DXF (a standard format for that) It horribly lacks of HELP !!! A little difficult to learn : it is similar to 1994 Autoskectch but easier. Although it crashes with unkown reason, you can use it. It get lots of features (and growing)
  • I have not worked much but some of my friends are doing lot of work and they like it alot.. truthful review....
  • Just compiled LibreCad from git master and then compared with the published installer . . A lot of not needed dll's, compared to my build. Otherwise the QT 4.8.4 mingw32/64 4.7.3 builds runs like charm though, one had to readjust some compiler switches -g without -fno-guess-branch-probability -fguess-branch-probability is on by default with all gcc -O's and implemented with -g makes debugging a difficult task.
  • Good i hope rigth+click to command (like move)
  • unable to start the software under OSX 10.6.8 Dyld Error Message: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreText.framework/Versions/A/CoreText Referenced from: /Applications/LibreCAD.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui Reason: image not found what a pity...
