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 LibreCAD users on all supported platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix-like, Mac OS X), this application today represents one of the best tools for modeling 2D design, paid or free alike.
Interface of LibreCAD was created from the ground up to enable all users 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.
LibreCAD is filled with powerful tools that can help everyone to achieve their design goals with ease - full suite of drawing, retouching and pallet tools, comprehensive documentation, customizable UI, countless tutorials, and much more.

It's free – no worry about license costs or annual fees.
No language barriers – it's available in a large number of languages, with more being added continually.
