It was initially released and developed by LibreCAD community on December 15, 2011. It was developed by Jurgen Riegel, Werner Mayer and Yorik van Havre and released on October 29, 2002. LibreCAD is also open source software and used for 2D drafting and drawing of computer aided designing elements. Let’s discuss the top comparison between FreeCAD vs LibreCAD:Īlthough both are free open source software and used for CAD purpose of different sector yet we will see their basic requirement and functionalityįreeCAD is Open source software that means it is free for using it and used for designing of different type of components of CAD fields. You can export and import number of file format with FreeCAD such as DXF, STEP, IGES, SVG, OBJ(Wavefront), SCAD, IFC, IV (Inventor) and DAE (Collada). You may face difficulties during printing with LibreCAD and biggest draw bag of this software is that it doesn’t supports most common file format.LibreCAD offers you multi-layer design management through which 2D designing become easy in this software. FreeCAD offers easy handling tool by which you can do push and pull modeling and if you group items together you can have pretty good complex object of 3D shape.These features includes lack of 3D or solid modeling feature, lack of backwards compatibility, lack of collaboration, lack of custom commands, custom interface not supported, text editing tools are also not available with them and many more things you can find which are not supported by both software but you can handle these features by the help of other additional softwares.

Now we will see some of the features which are not available with both of the software but you must know about them because these are most used features of this these type of software.

It can easily work for architects, simulation purpose and manufactures. Whereas if we tell you about FreeCAD then yes annotations and data importing, exporting are possible in it so you can import data as well as export for different type of purpose with this software but 2D drafting and drawing are not possible in it. It is also not for architects and designing of their components, manufactures and for simulation work.

With LibreCAD you can do 2D drawing and drafting by using number of advance features and tools of it and these tools make its working smoother but annotations as well as data importing and exporting features not available in it which may create problem to you during working with it.

You will have all good features with free versions of both software.

If we talk about price of both software then begin open source and free software these are free to use and you don’t worry about time to time subscription, annual or monthly plans, payment and updates of these software.

Here we will see facts by which you can find out key points about these software and use that points for deciding which software is better for you.
