Draftly CAD

2D drafting with a real command line. Type L, TR, O, MI or F, enter exact distances, and snap to endpoints, centers, tangents and intersections. Layers that lock and freeze, aligned dimensions, and PDF plotted to scale with a title block. DXF import and export with Pro. Free to draw with no account. The same drawings open in the web app at draftlycad.com.

Draftly is 2D CAD for iPad and iPhone, built by Tyler Thompson, a drafter. It isn't a sketching app with a ruler bolted on: nine running object snaps, polar tracking, dynamic input and real architectural units, then export to PDF or SVG, or DXF for whatever CAD tool the rest of the job uses.

FEATURES • Line, rectangle, circle, polygon, arc, bezier, dimension, and text tools • Nine running object snap families: endpoint, midpoint, center, intersection, perpendicular, nearest, quadrant, tangent, node • Polar tracking with configurable angle increments (5°, 10°, 15°, 18°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 90°) • Dynamic input HUD that floats with the cursor at every zoom level • Architectural unit input — type 8'-3 1/2" or 2500mm directly • Status-bar units chip — switch format / scale / precision in one tap • Command line with typed command aliases and suggestions • Relative polar coordinate input — type @ with a distance and angle • Transparent zoom and pan that preserve mid-tool draft state • Ortho lock (horizontal/vertical constraint) • Configurable grid with real-world scale (imperial and metric) • Layers with visibility, lock and freeze controls • PDF plots at 1:1, 1:50 or 1:100 with border, title block and scale note • Full undo/redo (up to 100 steps) • Copy, paste, cut, and delete elements • Export to PDF and SVG; DXF import and export with Pro (DWG via the free ODA File Converter) • Save and load .drft project files (readable JSON) • Dark mode support • Customizable crosshair cursor (7 styles, 4 sizes, opacity control)

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No native DWG, no 3D, no BIM, and no blocks or hatch yet. It's a 2D drafting tool and it does that one job properly.

PRO • Unlimited layers (free tier: 5 layers) • Watermark-free PDF and SVG export • DXF interop — export and import
