## LibreCAD Reviews
  ### 1.  An opensource alternative but not extremely intuitive to use

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Antonella M. | Antonella Mangrovia, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 30, 2019

**What do you like best about LibreCAD?**

Based on the QCAD software libraries, LibreCAD is another CAD for 2D drawing released under the GPL license. Most of the menus and commands in LibreCAD are very similar to those of AutoCAD, making it a particularly easy-to-use program for all those users already used to using it. LibreCAD allows you to import only files in the DXF format, however, to export files, it allows you to use numerous other formats.

**What do you dislike about LibreCAD?**

It's not easy to use because you need to know where to find the commands.

**Recommendations to others considering LibreCAD:**

Not the best opensource CAD

**What problems is LibreCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was looking for a free alternative to AutoCad, but I couldn't work on it well.

  ### 2. A tool for start using CAD system

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eunice S. | Adminstration Professional, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2019

**What do you like best about LibreCAD?**

It is free, nice interphase, quite simple to use, you have the menu of option on the left, the workspace in the middle and the layer options on the rigt, and down you have the commands tools, you can use every tool quickly and the software runs smooth.

**What do you dislike about LibreCAD?**

It is too simple, you can only work in 2D you cannot render, and if you compare this sofware with a similar this one has a very short set of tools for editing and the layout process is very annoying and complex.

**Recommendations to others considering LibreCAD:**

You can use LibreCad if you are a novice user of CAD system because it is pretty simple and friendly, but if you want to improve your skills and explode more content in this kind of software better look for another one.

**What problems is LibreCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use LibreCAD to develop our new office setting the spaces and places with this tools, we set a draft and later apply some details over it, the results was very simple but very useful, later we have to use another software to develop some topics, especially the modelling.
