What works the same as AutoCAD

  • The command line, with history, AutoComplete and aliases.
  • The same drawing commands: LINE, PLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, RECTANG, POLYGON and more.
  • Object snaps, polar tracking and ortho.
  • Layers, dimensions, hatches, blocks and paper-space layouts.
  • Opens and saves DWG and DXF drawings.

What is missing

  • It is at an early stage of development.
  • Objects CADCraft doesn't support yet are lost when you save.
