cad freeware: does anyone recommend?

[Zievatron]

update:
after carefully sifting all the internet in search of free cads, risking also an infection from a wrong site, I tried (velociously and superficially) all the cad found.
mark it that 3 I could not try them:
narocad and cmsxpandy, perhaps, go into conflict with something I have on the pc.
cocreate modeling pe requires an activation registration on the manufacturer's website, but this is not possible.
of the remaining (many) mark the 4 I found personally more convincing:
- wincad
- zwcad (2006 version is free)
- felixcad
- draft it
for a final choice, of course, I have to try them a little better.
with this I do not want to say that all the others are really to be rejected, surely there are others that deserve, this is only my personal selection.
when I have tried them better, I will add my final choice.
Next!

what does it mean to be used under 800k?

that you can't go over 800 kb per file size.

that you can't go over 800 kb per file size.

practically, a very small file. :
What goes in a 800kb file?

do you know if it's just the latest versions?
I would not like it to be present in 2006.

In the end, my choice falls on zwcad, except to collide with that limit of 800k for files, in case I opt for wincad.

Of course it's little!
It also depends on what kind of drawings you produce.

 

[Zievatron]

for now is not a problem.
In the future, who knows? Maybe some other free cad will improve. :smile:

I just started seeing qcad. on the site says it is all paid (although the basic version costs 25€). However, it makes me download a "demo" version.

Does anyone know what this "demo" is? I didn't understand what the limitations are. . .

cercato io male...ma veramente male!

- there is no functional difference between the demo version and the professional version of qcad.
- the demo version terminates after 10 minutes.
- it can be restarted and used for 100 hours in tota

return to the problem limitations of zwcad.

using the 2006 version I collided with the saving byte limit that, probably, is only 80k and not 800k. :frown:

where can you read the limit for the 2010 version?
Who found and where did you find that it was 800k?
I don't see it written anywhere. Indeed, I tried to download it and install it and it would seem that after 30 days of full operation the functions saved and printed are completely disabled. :frown::frown:

:fingerrova draftsight:http://www.cad3d.it/forum1/showthread.php?t=20246&highlight=draftsight.

for what I have seen so far:
it has correctly opened all dwg that other sw tested in the past (intellicad, doublecad etc.) managed with errors (intendo quotas moved, incorrect fonts, modified layout, problems with images and xref);
it is a bit slower than autocad in the pan and zoom (although not at the levels of the various intellicad and doublecad that have made me immediately desist);
is very interesting both for the correct management of the autocad pen tables and for the fact that the commands are almost identical;
has the possibility of customization mouse gestures with insertion of the most used commands.

Hi.

 

[necronomicron]

I am also looking for a free cad2d worthy of this name. for now I found a very little:

for now the only decent, has been worn out. totally and completely free, light enough, opened me the dwg of a big set without problems, I managed to editate it and saved it in dxf. from what I saw also has a good number of functions.
I forgot, it works perfectly on win7 x64.:finger:

I installed it and downloaded it this afternoon, so it's all to try, but all the others I tried was discarding them after 2 min!

Bye to all,

Has anyone ever tried to use opencascade?

there is the paid version, and however, also the free one, can be used for commercial purposes using the concept "pay-per-results"... which of course I have no idea what it can be.

Because I've pulled opencascade out to ask for something:

when I use linux cae (I installed caelinux2009) I can't open the step files. It tells me that I need to install the opencascade libraries.
Can any of you help me?

Thank you very much
