## Description

DIY CAD Designer is a versatile 3D CAD software designed for DIY enthusiasts and craftsmen who want to plan and visualize their projects before building. With its extensive libraries of materials like wood, metal, glass, and stone, users can easily drag and drop components to create detailed 3D drawings of furniture, home improvements, or custom crafts. The software supports multiple file imports (FBX, OBJ, GLTF2, STL, PLY, 3MF), enabling integration with other modeling tools. Users benefit from intuitive editing functions, imperial and metric measurement options, and different viewing modes, including orthogonal and perspective views. The 3D dimensioning system provides precise measurements directly from the model, and a photo function allows sharing high-resolution images of your designs. DIY CAD Designer makes project planning accessible and enjoyable, whether you're designing a table, cupboard, or porch for your home.

## Review summary

The app is praised for usable lightweight sketching and CAD-like functions by some users, but widespread usability problems—hard controls, intrusive ads and paywalls, no autosave, disruptive prompts, and sparse editing features—make the experience frustrating for many and undermine its potential.

### Pros

- Positive overall sentiment with multiple reviewers expressing enthusiasm (e.g., 'I love it', 'excellent', 'amazing').
- Useful for quick, simple sketches and design references (DIY projects, art references).
- Perceived as one of the better CAD sketch apps available in its niche.
- Core drawing/CAD features are usable and valued by some users.

### Cons

- Terrible or difficult controls, with issues tapping and dragging pieces and general UI navigation.
- Constant ads and paywalls that prevent trying features before purchase.
- No autosave leading to data loss and session resets without recovery.
- Annoying in-app prompts (rate-this-app box) that can get stuck or disrupt work.
- Limited editing capabilities and missing essential CAD features on mobile (e.g., cannot edit a single object).
