  2. LibreCAD, being a fork of QCAD 2.0.5 Community Edition, for a long time had only a Points-based Grid.

    Now there are settings to fully customize the Grid look:
    1) with Points type its possible to set Metagrid to Continious line type (or other).
    2) with Lines type its possible to fully customize both, main Grid and Metagrid line types.

    Also, its possible to customize the look of Axis Lines and extend them infinitely.

  3. New LibreCAD's splash & about dialog banner in the latest builds now are relevant to the version of the build: Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate & Release.

  4. #FreeCAD under developments, has continuos improvements and I really like what was and is done, specially my preferred part is the new Tech Draw improvements, now it is much faster and cleaner, with it you can generate nice drawing and export it as #DXF or #SVG, for me the ability to export in DXF is fantastic so I can edit drawings with #QCAD or other 2D #CAD editor. #fc3d github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bun

  5. For :inkscape: #Inkscape experts: I have a #dwg file with a scheme that I'd like to edit in Inkscape.

    What's best flow to (well) #convert this dwg file ( ufile.io/xobr6g02 ) to #svg ?

    I tried with #Qcad exporting in #dxf, #svg etc etc, but I lose a lot of information.

    Otherwise If I import the file in inkscape from pdf (that's here ufile.io/74qjzogc ), then it become very very slow, nearly impossible to edit.

    Maybe it's there a method to "simplify" the #pdf imported?
