This month I decided it was finally time to start learning 3D CAD. Linux support: Should work on any Linux system wich supports WebGL see this link. ".includes limited symbol libraries (a 2D library with the most popular symbols for mechanical/plumbing is included)." The Pro Version (which requires purchase) supports DWG and DXF formats. Runs in Linux under Wine, with some limitations. Additional parts libraries (add-ons) can be downloaded for free. The free version opens and saves in DXF format only (imports SVG, exports to PDF). QCAD is free, but with limitations additional functionality requires a purchase. OpenSCAD has been recommended as an entry-level CAD tool for designing open source hardware such as scientific tools for research and education." See also (below) a short piece about my experience learning and using OnShape.įrom Wikipedia: "OpenSCAD is a non-visual, programmer-oriented solid modeling tool. Yes I am an employee and am happy to answer any questions this group has." We will never come back and squeeze you for money. The business model wants you (the hobbyist and maker) to use this for free. The differences between the 'Free' and 'Pro' versions are (1) No limits on active private documents and (2) 100GB storage

There is no functional difference between the two. "Onshape is a 'freemium' product - Free and Pro version. For more on using LibreOffice draw for CAD, see this link. It does not have true 3D, but does offer some limited 3D features.
LibreOffice Draw is part of the free LibreOffice suite it is not true CAD, but does have capabilities for making scaled and dimensioned drawings. I do not know if it is useful for CAD in general. This software seems to be offered primarily as a front end to ordering custom designed parts.
