About LibreCAD
LibreCAD is a open-source 2D CAD application that drafts technical drawings, plans and schematics in DXF format with layers and snapping, built for drafters who need free 2D CAD. It gives specialists precise control over the details of their craft, exports in the formats their machines and collaborators expect, and rewards practice with noticeably faster, cleaner results.
