About CADCraft

The command line, object snaps, layers, dimensions, hatches, blocks and drawings you already know. Fast, native, and built for both people and AI agents.

Key Features

The drafting workflow01

Type commands, click points, direct distance entry, object snaps, polar tracking, ortho, grips, and right-click-to-repeat.

Open drawing formats02

Reads and writes DXF (ASCII and binary, R12–2018), opens DWG (R13–2018), and exports to PDF, SVG, and PNG.

Paper space & viewports03

Layout sheets with floating viewports, per-viewport layer overrides, page setups, and scale-exact plotting.

Associative annotations04

Linear, aligned, angular and radial dimensions that follow geometry, multileaders, tables, and custom drafting fonts.

Parametric constraints05

Geometric and dimensional constraints with expression parameters that automatically re-solve as you edit.

Your Files Stay on Your Device

Zero File Uploads

Proprietary engineering and architectural schematics never leave your machine. All processing is computed in your browser using local device memory.

Saving & Exporting

Save your drawings via File → Export DXF or print to scale PDF. Work buffers stay in browser localStorage and are exported directly to your computer.

Common Tasks & Solutions

Precision 2D Technical Drafting

Parametric constraints, dimensions, perpendicular/parallel snapping, and architectural layout tools.

Import & Inspect DXF/DWG Schematics

Open industrial CAD drawings, toggle layers, measure distances, and check tolerances.

Export Manufacturing DXF & Vector PDF

Export exact CAD files ready for laser cutters, CNC machines, and 3D printing workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create technical drawings in my browser for free?+
Yes. CADCraft provides a full 2D drafting suite with parametric snapping and dimensioning.
Does CADCraft require saving drawings to a public cloud?+
No. Unlike commercial cloud CAD tools that force public files, CADCraft saves 100% locally on your device.
