QCAD overview

What is QCAD?

QCAD is an architectural CAD solution that helps businesses create technical drawings in two dimensions (2D). The platform enables managers to import and export drawings in various formats including BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, ICO, and XPM.

Administrators can utilize built-in line types, fonts, and widths and clipboard functions such as copy, cut, paste, and duplicate to build diagrams. QCAD allows teams to adjust pattern scales and angles, create hatch using trimmed boundaries, and insert bitmaps. Supervisors can also edit layer attributes, view lists as dockable widgets, and merge multiple CAD drawings on a unified interface.

Other features include an architectural symbol library, 2D drawing, and drafting.
