Draw floor plans, elevations and construction details, open DWG and DXF drawings from desktop CAD, lay out sheets with title blocks and schedules, and export print-ready PDFs — all offline, with no account required.

DRAFTING TOOLS
• Line, polyline, rectangle, circle, arc, spline and point
• Copy, move, rotate, mirror, offset, trim and extend
• Object snaps, polar tracking and precise keyboard input (@1000<45)
• A real command bar: type L, C, LAYER or a coordinate like desktop CAD
• Unlimited undo and redo, window and crossing selection

ARCHITECTURE & BIM
• Walls with wall types, doors and windows that cut openings automatically
• Dimensions, text, callouts, leaders and hatch patterns
• Blocks with editable attributes and a block library
• Layers with colour, line type and line weight
• Door, window and block schedules generated from the drawing

SHEETS & PRINTING
• Paper sizes from A4 to A0, portrait or landscape

DWG, DXF & IFC
• Open and save DWG (R13 to 2018) and DXF files from any desktop CAD
• Layers, blocks, dimensions and hatches round-trip with desktop CAD
• View IFC4 building models in 3D with section cuts and measurements
• Turn your 2D plan into 3D solids and export OBJ or GLB

COLLABORATE
• Version history: save named versions and go back any time
• Comments pinned to the drawing for review notes
• Share drawings as DWG, DXF, PDF or the native project format

WORKS OFFLINE
Your drawings stay on your device. No sign-in, no cloud upload and no data collection. Projects are plain files you can back up or move with any file manager.
