About LibreCAD
LibreCAD is a 2D CAD program for creating and editing technical drawings. Based on the community edition of QCAD and built on the Qt framework, it runs as a desktop application on most operating systems, with a highly customizable interface translated into more than 30 languages.
It reads DXF and DWG files and writes DXF, DWG, PDF, and SVG, drawing with primitives that include points, lines, circles, ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas, and splines. DXF and DWG reading is handled by the companion libdxfrw library.
LibreCAD can also run from the command line as a batch converter, turning DXF files into PDF, PNG, or SVG. It is free software released under GPLv2.
