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.

About

DesignCraft is an open-source page-layout and publishing application for designers, publishers, and other users creating multi-page documents. It provides spreads and parent pages, text and graphic frames, threaded stories, columns, paragraph and character styles, color swatches, and text wrapping for arranging editorial and print-oriented layouts. Typography tools include paragraph composition, hyphenation, optical margin alignment, and baseline grids. Users can work with a documented native file format, import and export IDML, and export PNG images. The application is available as a native desktop program for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a WebAssembly build for browser use. Command-line workflows, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server support scripted or agent-driven document operations. DesignCraft is free and open source under MIT or Apache-2.0 licensing. The product is in development.
