In my opinion, getting people off AutoCAD is a nice quick win for free software, so making this page well written and provide easy steps for people to switch is a high priority. Thanks for all the replies! I've posted what I've learned from this thread as well as my own experience here: I can open the urban plans provided by municipality of Vienna and work with them reasonably, which is quite ok.Worst case Autodesk provides a free viewer and converter to dxf, which is official, so theoretically better than for example archicad import. We worked with dxfs in the past, I've never had problems with receiving dxf from consultants on request.
#Librecad wiki software#
Some sort of programming capability as lisp in autocad would obviously be a benefit, but as the only serious use of a drawing software nowadays is simple sketching over referenced plans I don't find it important. The other 95% of extra functions autocad has are principally useless. I really miss proper referencing and layout system. I prefer that it is strictly 2D, as I have in the 10 years of my autocad experience never seen anyone meaningfuly use 3D drawings. I worked with autocad and rhino extensively and learning librecad after that was very easy.
It opened fine, but was laggy to pan around. Does it scale well? I have tried opening a DWG of a large project on LibreCAD, which couldn't be imported.automatically derived from BIM software, like Revit, Tekla, etc), so I'm not sure how much magic they are using compared to a "natively authored DWG" which may use some tricky AutoCAD black box stuff. These are generally "generated" DWGs (i.e. How do you deal with file compatibility? At the firm I work at, all consultants deliver DWGs (I do need to start an effort to change the contracts to specify DXF).What are your thoughts on it? Was it easy to learn? What are its biggest pros and cons over the obvious elephant in the room, like AutoCAD?.but I'm looking for users who use it as part of their regular workflow). A printed version is being prepared.I'd love to know if anybody here is using LibreCAD (well, I know does, and I have touched it here and there. Easier to read HTML, PDF, MOBI and EPUB versions are also available here.
#Librecad wiki manual#
The source files for this manual are hosted on this wiki, and on the original github account used to write the first version of this book. The contents of this manual are published under the Creative Commons 4.0 license, and can be freely used, downloaded, copied, and modified. This manual is being written for the newest stable version of FreeCAD, version 0.18 (early 2019). It will become a companion for the wiki, but not replace it. This manual will walk you through much of the information available on the wiki, but we hope the step-by-step approach based on examples and a more unified tone due to a smaller number of authors will make it more suitable for a first contact with FreeCAD. This makes it an excellent resource for reference, but a less practical tool for learning FreeCAD. Like most wikis, it contains huge amounts of information but is somewhat difficult to access and navigate by newcomers. The wiki is written collaboratively by dozens of community members. This manual is an experiment, taking a different approach from the official FreeCAD documentation wiki. The data you produce with FreeCAD is fully yours, and can be recovered without FreeCAD.įreeCAD is also fundamentally a social project, as it is developed and maintained by a community of developers and users united by their passion for FreeCAD.
#Librecad wiki code#
FreeCAD is free to download, use, distribute and modify, and its source code is open and published under the very permissive LGPL license. It is made primarily to model real-world objects, ranging from small electronic components up to large objects such as buildings and civil engineering projects, with a strong focus on 3D-printable objects. FreeCAD is a free, open source parametric 3D modeling application.
