About

CAD6starter is the free entry to the CAD6 series and contains basic drawing and labeling functions. It can open, edit, save, and print all drawings created by any CAD6 edition. Use CAD6starter to create elaborate technical drawings with the highest accuracy and all important structural elements such as layers, pens, pages, groups, and blocks. For simple scaled drawing, you can work in the model space at a scale of 1:1 and then generate different scales using mappings. A drawing can contain multiple pages. Hatchings and dimensions automatically adapt to changes in the drawing. CAD6starter may be used free of charge and unconditionally for private use, educational purposes, as well as commercial use. All programs of the CAD6 series are 100% data-compatible.

About

CADCraft is an open-source computer-aided design and drafting application for creating and editing technical drawings. Its interface pairs a command line with a graphical drawing area and tools for 2D geometry, object snaps, layers, properties, dimensions, hatches, blocks, layouts, and plotting. The software reads and writes DXF and DWG files and exports PDF, SVG, and PNG. Users can create floor plans, mechanical part drawings, and other 2D designs, then arrange sheets with paper-space layouts and viewports. CADCraft runs as a native desktop app on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with an additional WebAssembly browser build. A command-line utility, JSON control protocol, and Model Context Protocol server support scripted drawing, inspection, and rendering. The project is under active development.
