What do you like best about QCAD?

qCAD is a tool for two-dimensional design (CAD), with a free software license and an interface very similar to proprietary alternatives.

It is a great advantage that it does not require a large investment to be used, as it is free. We can create anything from simple designs for novice users, like small parts and their elevation, plan, and profile views, to the most complex designs for experts, such as house plans, buildings, and other structures.

For this, we have an intuitive and powerful user interface. Available for all current operating systems from its website.

It allows having several tabs open at the same time with different projects, greatly facilitating the simultaneous management of tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QCAD?

Sometimes it freezes when it has a heavy workload. It also has another disadvantage, which is that it doesn't allow you to render 3D objects. Learning to navigate all the nooks and crannies of the program's options requires a lot of time for study and learning. Other than that, I don't see any drawbacks.

Recommendations to others considering QCAD:

It is a very useful tool for creating 2D designs precisely and based on simple handling, and it is also GPL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Qcad has allowed us to design the plans for some of the pieces we need to print with the 3D printer in plastic to protect some devices in our workshop. We have been able to make them to measure and it has turned out much cheaper than if we had ordered them. Since we couldn't order them or pay for a proprietary license for a commercial CAD program.

"A savior for projects"

2.5/5

What do you like best about QCAD?

As is so simple and easy to set up it could be a savior for when such thing is needed, can actually work stuff from outside normal CAD usage and desing more than my math or drawing classes and go a bit further with it, got options to work both in metric and imperial system that is really appreciated as most of the time, quick CAD programs go only with metric Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QCAD?

Unlike other CAD's i've tried so far, this one becomes way simplier than others. It could be quite annoying to deal with it if you have prior experience with other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
