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

SkyCAD automates wire and component numbering, manages parts lists and BOMs, updates cross‑references, creates panel layout designs, and more. It features automated numbering, BOMs, and parts‑lists management, automated cross‑references, license sharing, and requires no training. With unique design‑reuse features such as design‑by‑systems and configuration management, the software ensures efficiency and consistency. It offers intuitive, user‑friendly tools for generating PLC and other component blocks automatically and can generate PLC drawings from an I/O list in Excel. The panel layout design is supported directly within the platform. SkyCAD supports European and American drawing styles. A rich tutorial library and responsive support forums empower users to get up to speed quickly. Standard (free) and advanced licenses are available, with the free license meeting the needs of many users and the advanced license providing additional features at a reasonable cost.
