DESCRIPTION

QCad is an application for computer aided drafting in two dimensions (2D). With QCad you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schemas and diagrams. QCad works on Windows, Mac OS X and many Linux and Unix Systems. The source code of the QCad community edition is released under the GPL (Open Source).

QCad was designed with modularity, extensibility and portability in mind. But what people notice most often about QCad is its intuitive user interface. QCad is a simple 2D CAD system for everyone. You don't need any CAD experience to get started with QCad immediately. You can download a free trial version and try QCad today

    AMERGIN  Powercadd costs $995!!!!! Surely some developer can use Claris Cad as a model for a simple but inexpensive Mac app.

    VITOR-BR-01  It is a very good software. Its free and works very well, when u get the sources and recompiles or get a dmg files with someone, because its is a GPL software.

    VITOR-BR-01  This is a GPL software. So it is free! Is't only demo. If u go to QCAD home page u can get the source and u can recompile and then u can use without any restrintions. I use this in my computer and its is so good software. Like a AutoCAD.

    Download the sources and recompile them.

    M-RICK  If it was free i wouldn't say nothing, but as a shareware, it doesn't worth the money at all, and quite a lot of softwares can do better than this for almost the same price. as said in a previous comment, Cadintosh does really better for exactly the same price, there is also Doodle Cad that is completely better than this piece of soft unstable and unusable ...

    CLARIS CAD  I just tried it. Poor! Poor! Poor! The only simple AND easy to use CAD software was Claris CAD (running under Classic).

    It had an inuitive menu (not that funny PC-like stuff in QCad), and all you needed for simple 2D tasks.

    There is no port to OSX up to day. That makes me very sad, I would pay money for it!!!!!! But not any cent for QCad.

    PAOLO TOTARO AM  An appallingly incoherent instruction manual; where it is not explained what actions one has to do on the keyboard to have what effects.

    Inconsistent in reactions.

    Keep away.

    ANONYMOUS  why can no one come up with a decent mechanical CAD package for the mac? Vectorworks is mostly for architectural work, I know there is a mechanical part for it yet it's not that good.

    Autodesk needs to get in gear to be the first to come over to OS X so that us mac users can throw away the pc's at school and work.

    ENRICO RIBONI  A very poor software, especially if compared with Cadintosh, and also with QCad 1, which was freeware. Caditosh has less problems than QCad 2 to open a file made with QCad 1. QCad 1 was OK as a basic drafting software, QCad 2 is an expensive and poor alternative to Cadintosh

    IN LALA LAND  Typical Linux code, tons of ways to "optimize" in order to get the 0.00001% improvement in performance, but as a result works like sh*t right out of the box. (Still like linux) thinks its interface is better than anyone elses so it is all different. (Also like linux) having the ablity to adjust every little parameter is more importiant than stability. Just software for geeks, as opposed to someone who has work to get done
