About Qcad
QCAD was created in 1999 by RibbonSoft to provide a cost-effective and user-friendly CAD solution for 2D drafting. It aimed to offer a viable alternative to more complex and expensive CAD systems, making technical drawing accessible to a broader audience.
Strengths of QCAD include its open-source nature, affordability, and ease of use for 2D drafting. Weaknesses include limited 3D capabilities and fewer advanced features compared to high-end CAD software. Competitors include AutoCAD, DraftSight, and LibreCAD.
