About

LinceCAD is a desktop 2D and 3D CAD application for opening, editing, and saving DWG and DXF drawings on Windows and Linux. It opens DWG formats from R14 through 2018 and DXF from R12 through 2018 without conversion, preserving objects it does not edit when drawings are saved. Drafting tools include object snaps, polar tracking, grips, dimensions, multileaders, tables, layers, dynamic blocks, attributes, external references, and layouts with vector PDF plotting. It also provides 3D solid modeling, a GPU-based viewer, photorealistic rendering, web map services, LAS/LAZ point clouds, terrain models, contour lines, PDF-to-DWG conversion, raster vectorization, and OCR. Users can automate tasks with AutoLISP, a local Python API, and an MCP server for AI assistants. The interface and help are available in English and Spanish. LinceCAD offers a 30-day full-feature trial, with a planned one-time perpetual license per user.
