LibreCAD 2.2.0

LibreCAD 是一套开源的 2D 设计工具，主要用来替代商业软件 AutoCAD，让使用者不必付费就能接触专业的绘图功能。它的最大特色就是完全免费且开放原始码，并持续由社群维护，更新虽不算频繁，但长期都有版本释出。在同类软件中，它算是热门的免费选择，使用者评价普遍不错，只是评分人数不多，代表性有限。

这套软件适合预算有限、想入门 2D 设计的学生或业余使用者，也适合需要轻量绘图方案的人。与 AutoCAD 相比，LibreCAD 功能较为精简，但足以应付基本绘图需求；若需要更进阶的 3D 或专业设计，可能得考虑其他商业软件。授权为开源，可自由使用，但仅支援英文介面，且目前以 macOS 为主，另有 Windows 版，中文使用者需留意语系支援。

LibreCAD for Mac is an open source alternative to the famous professional 2D and 3D modeling and design suite Auto CAD.

Managing to emulate and in some cases surpass capabilities of AutoCAD, LibreCAD represent the fantastic opportunity for every novice and professional to enter into the world of 2D design by accessing industry leading tools that are available for everyone for free!

Created in an open source environment that was focused on bringing quick updates to the tool users on all supported platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix-like, macOS), this application today represents one of the best tools for modeling 2D design, paid or free alike.

The interface of the app was created from the ground up to enable all users an easy way of accessing all the necessary tools for manipulating 2D designs without sacrificing anything.

Canvas area is big, drawing tools, selectors, layer list and block lists are all arranged around it, and large amount of additional tools is accessible either via contextual menus or fixed menus that are arranged on the top of the app (covering everything that you would need, including - Select, Draw, Dimension, Modify, Snap, Layer and Block).

Even though this app had its first release in December of 2011, after a very short while it managed to attract large user base and development support. Download, Install or Update LibreCAD for Mac!
