QCAD Reviews

Easy to use and powerfull. So far it I haven't found any bugs.

I feel like there is pressure put on new QCAD users to pay for QCAD when the free version works perfectly.

I ran a small business for 25 years and used Autocad. The free Version of QCAD works just as well for the 2D mechanical design work I do.

Some incredible features, more than enough for my CAD landscaping garden designs, plus a really useful book, and great support from developer, with lots ofmaterial online. Once you get used to the shortcuts, QCAD's ease of use is joy.

There is a steep learning curve, but to be honest, there is for all CAD software. The features and power far outweigh the initial pain!

I design wildlife forest gardens, and create a lot of planting plans for trees, shrubs, all the way down to herbaceous perennials. QCAD has plenty of power for what I do, and it's really reasonably priced, particularly considering the full-blown commercial alternatives.

Technical drawings, which needs to show minute details can easily be created through QCAD. Further, since it's free for trial basis, it comes in really handy to use it first and then decide to switch on it or not!

There is nothing to dislike, although QCAD 2 is also coming with more designs and features, which will prove to be more useful.

Our Client "Applied Materials" is into construction works and require work designs on day to day basis, which QCAD makes it really easy by removing manual work.

The software is very easy to use and has a good interface

Sometimes the software hangs while drafting.

It's a good option versus AutoCAD and zcad etc

I am an architect and have a lot of use for computer aided design in work

QCAD has amazing graphics and produces vivid, highly detailed technical drawings. You can acquire dimensions, specific details, and measurements from the design or draft, without having to physically be in front of the structure or mechanism.

It is not user-friendly. You have to go through some sort of training to be able to navigate through the designs/schematics. Also, QCAD does not directly highlight a location (if you are searching for something such as a labeled vessel or valve). Instead, it takes you to the vicinity of what you are looking for, and you have to navigate through the remainder of the design to find the specific marked item.

QCAD has minimized field time for walk-throughs. Currently, we have increased our ability to produce project bids, estimates, and work on schematics three times faster because we have eliminated traveling time and physical walk-throughs.

The 2D software makes it easy to design different plans such as mechanical parts,bilding diagrams among others.It is compatible with other CAD software. Drawing created with QCAD can be opened by other CAD software.

The app is made for only 2D drawings. It doesn't give provision for complex drawings.

I highly recommend since its easy to come up with 2D drawings.

It is now simple to create mechanical parts with layers and polylines.

.As is so straightforward and simple to set up it could be a friend in need for when such thing is required, can really work stuff from outside ordinary CAD utilization and desing more than my math or drawing classes and run somewhat further with it, got alternatives to work both in metric and royal framework that is truly refreshing as more often than not, fast CAD programs run just with metric

it is created for 2D, and to have the capacity to alter it must be in dxf records

It's not the best available, yet is a great arrangement when there's a requirement for a quick and truly asset cordial CAD

Quick answer for

Qcad is an excellent tool that helps you create designs and plans in two dimensions. We can obtain technical drawings of parts, house plans, and even diagrams, all from an interface that facilitates creations. There is a trial version available to test it for about a hundred hours. It is cross-platform (Linux, Windows, and Mac OS). But the best part is that if we use Linux, there is a GPL version of free software that is completely free.

It offers multiple construction and modification tools, various modes for creating lines, circles, and arcs, solid fills and gradients, etc. You can work with layers at different levels, etc.

In summary, its interface is simple but very complete and versatile. Additionally, we can export images in different formats such as JPEG, PNG, and even STL to put into a 3D printer and obtain the piece physically.

It hardly consumes any RAM resources or disk space.

It's easy to use but powerfull. I use it for 2 things:

1) helping my dad with survey maps (converting different types of files)

2) drawing fast projects for my hobby

Sometimes it's not easy to learn how to use some of the tools but it's probably my fault because I don't use CAD programs often.

It is not at all necessary to spend money on expensive licenses for private design software, as QCAD works very well for creating all kinds of two-dimensional designs. It is possible to achieve simple or very complex designs, all thanks to the intuitive tools it offers, which you can use to draw or design machine parts, everyday objects, buildings, chalets, rooms, etc. The design and printing options are very easy to use. Another highlight is that it is free and can be easily downloaded from the official project website, and it is also very versatile and powerful. It barely consumes machine resources.

Sometimes it can be a bit unstable, but the biggest limitation is that you can model anything in three dimensions, and if you want to render, you have to use other software. Although it is very intuitive, the first time you face QCAD you will need some tutorial to guide you in your first steps, luckily it is easy to get one of them, either on video platforms or in text form.

Highly recommended for use in classrooms, it is free and easy to use, and educationally very useful and powerful.

Qcad is a program that we use in the classrooms with technology students to create scaled views of objects. For the students, it is both fun and educational, helping them understand the construction plans of various pieces. Additionally, being free of licensing costs, it does not add an extra burden to the school material budget.
