Overview
CADCraft is ArtCraft's open source drafting app. It offers command entry, object snaps, layers, dimensions, hatches, blocks, paper space, and DXF and DWG support.
About
CADCraft is aimed at people who draw with coordinates, commands, and exact dimensions. It has object snaps, layers, hatches, blocks, associative dimensions, and sheet layouts with viewports. The project says it can read and write DXF, open DWG, and export PDF, SVG, and PNG.
ArtCraft offers macOS, Windows, Linux, and browser builds, plus a WebAssembly package that can be hosted separately. Check your drawing files and plotting requirements before moving a live drafting job into it, especially if you need to save back to DWG.
Good for
- — Technical drawings with layers, dimensions, and blocks.
- — Working with DXF files in a free drafting app.
- — Trying command-based CAD on desktop or in a browser.
Limitations
- — The project lists DWG opening, while DXF is the format it says it can both read and write.
- — Check plotting and file exchange with your own drawings.
