Its not open source, but its very useful. The link to the download (which they hand out Via the chat)Īnyway I hope that helps someone looking for free 2D cad. I have tried emailing the support page for another license with that email but no response, the chat seems to be the best avenue. My desktop PC died so I had to give them a new email when I built a new one. I finally found XT6 and a way to get the IMSI to pass on the download file and the license Key. It may only be good for a year and only works on two computers. Doublecad XT5 has that feature but it crashed frequently and was just buggy to use. Once it is ready, I shall post a link as to where you may download from. Its free but you need an email and a name for a key so the the software can open. For users new to the world of CAD, I will be posting training material within the next week or so. Just ask the person on the chat popup if you can get a license key for the DoubleCad XT6. It hasn't ever worked as far as I can tell but you can get a license from the TurboCad support help page: Its made by IMSA, the makers of Turbocad but the web site where you can download it is broken. You can open 3D files but you cant rotatoe them so that isnt so useful. It seems to be able to open and save as DWG and DXF files. I finally found XT6 and a way to get the IMSI to pass on the download file and the license Key.ĭoubleCad XT6 is not so easy to get but it is legal and free! For 2D CAD it is complete and looks to be a lot like what Draftsight used to be, its been a while since I used it but may be better. Doublecad XT5 has that feature but it crashed frequently and was just buggy to use. One thing I really like about autocad is the ability to set line length and angle as I am drawing a line by tabbing to the boxes that follow the cursor around. I ended up using Nanocad5 but its still not as easy for me to use after being so used to autodesk. I never got used to Qcad, Librecad, etc and used Draftsight until they took that away. I have spent a lot of time over the last couple years looking for a free autocad like 2D program and tried a bunch of them… I used to have access to Autodesk products as a teacher but ended that career path a while ago so all my education licenses ran out years ago.
