*LibreCAD* is a free, opensource alternative to the popular 2D and 3D
modeling and design tool, AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a multi-purpose program that's
fantastic for making precise 2D and 3D buildings, models and more in the
industry standard CAD design. Unfortunately, it's also quite expensive, which
might make it difficult for students or other people on a budget to purchase.
That's where LibreCAD comes in. A *free, opensource tool* that lets you
*create and edit 2D models*, LibreCAD is a legitimate alternative to the more
expensive AutoCAD. Support and documentation on how to use the program is
also available user-made and available for free on the developer's website.
LibreCAD provides users with a *palette and a variety of retouching tools*
that will let you both create and edit 2D designs. For more hands-on users,
LibreCAD's availability as an opensource program allows you to customize it
to your liking without any cost except for time on your part. Beginning users
might find it a little difficult to use initially, but the extensive
tutorials made by other users and developers definitely goes a long way in
helping you learn the program's ropes. The only real downside to the tool is
that there's no support for 3D model creation, which might limit its
usefulness, depending your own needs for a CAD-based application. *As a
no-cost alternative to the far more expensive AutoCAD, LibreCAD can't be beat
for creating and editing 2D designs.*Download *LibreCAD 1.0.0 RC4* in
