"The great experience that LibreCAD offers me"
4/5
What do you like best about LibreCAD?

One of the best advantages is that it is open source, which makes it very receptive to improvements and updates, and its users do not have to pay a cent to use all its tools because it is free. This is something that distinguishes it from its major competitors. Its interface is very intuitive, although also a bit unstable, usually without problems or unexpected closures when using it. It also stands out for its ease of installation, being very easy and allowing the installer to be downloaded from various sites like GitHub. Another advantage it offers is that it has a great plugin system to activate and deactivate features. The option that has been most useful to me is the auto-save of designs. Finally, I liked the great compatibility it offers by being able to save in different extensions like .DXF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreCAD?

One of the disadvantages of the current version of LibreCAD is the lack of direct documentation (initially, QCAD documentation was included but it was removed). Another disadvantage is the absence of a Model/Paper space, which makes development difficult. The lack of text that adapts to different scales is also notable, and different types of text and dimensions cannot be managed. It is an application with a very outdated interface, which makes it somewhat difficult to use. Lastly, it is a program that offers very basic and simple tools compared to other applications in the same sector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A useful tool to get started with CAD software"
3/5
What do you like best about LibreCAD?

The biggest advantage of LibreCAD is the fact that it is an open-source program and, therefore, free, making it ideal as a first approach to CAD software and to assess whether to make a larger investment to acquire a more powerful tool. It has basic functionalities, and its interface, although different from other similar reference programs, is particularly simple and intuitive. It has a large community of users online, so it is easy to find tutorials and help online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreCAD?

It is a software that, compared to other similar reference ones, offers only its most basic functionalities, so it is not suitable for advanced or professional use. The support and help from the program itself are quite limited, so if you need help, you have to resort to tutorials or assistance from other users online. Visually, it differs quite a bit from other similar programs, so it is initially difficult to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Open source CAD tool!"
4/5
What do you like best about LibreCAD?

LibreCAD is a cross-platform tool based on parametric 3D modeling functions for CAD, directly aimed at mechanical engineering and product design, but it also fits a wide range of uses in engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties.

LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D modeling tool. Created using the source code of another free design tool called QCad Community Edition, its main advantages are being quite lightweight and having an interface quite similar to that of AutoCAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreCAD?

LibreCAD only deals with 2D drawing, it is compatible with DXF files, which it imports very well, and CXF, but it does not support DWG, a mandatory format for those of us who use these platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A free option for designing"
3.5/5
What do you like best about LibreCAD?

LibreCAD is one of the best options if you want to design a plan or simply put into practice your basic or professional architecture knowledge, all for free and with a quite simplified interface. As with major design programs, with this software you can draw, dimension, modify, consult, search, measure, and of course print, considering each of the parameters of your design in detail. In the drawing section, LibreCAD offers its greatest qualities, given that the interface is so simple that anyone with basic knowledge can create a design in a few minutes. In this sense, the menu unfolds very simply, with shapes and figures on the left side and layers on the right side, as you create and organize them. This is a great help, as it is not necessary to write commands or search through multiple menus for drawing options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreCAD?

The program can be truly unstable, in many cases it closes suddenly, and the biggest issues in my case have happened with the print settings, it became practically impossible for me to configure a plan on a letter-sized sheet, since it could never be adjusted to scale. All these are issues that need to be resolved, as they considerably affect the work done with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
