What do people use QCAD for?

[clive]

Hello everyone

I`m interested to know what others use QCAD for, I`m not encouraging advertising here! I thought it would be good to get some feedback about the use of QCAD (I`m sure it will provide interesting reading).

I personally use QCAD quite a bit for Laser cutting.

2d design for commercial antenna parts. Plus my own projects around the house.

here's a section and a full picture. My design lies between the transmission and the main shaft to the prop.

Very impressive work you have done here - nice to see QCAD in action in the project

Are you the one waving at the rear of the boat?

wow, this is amazing!

I use QCAD to mock-up outbuildings on our farm. I'm a walking contradiction (techno-savy-farmer)

I use Qcad in my architecture studio for all the necesary drawings to build them. And use Blender to photorealistic visulization.

I use QCad for 2D architecture and terrain concept as well as electrical design (where to place socket outlets, which type of cable).

Hi Guys
Any new users for this topic, it's always good to hear what QCAD is being used for .

Hello

Currently I use QCAD for the design of real-life and model track plans as a hobby.

I also use it professionally for technical drawing from scratch. Unfortunately, the import of existing work-related files (dxf/dwg) with complex geometry does not work too well.

Best regards
