What Is CADCraft?
Written in Rust, CADCraft follows a command-driven drafting workflow. Its source is offered under MIT or Apache-2.0, and the project provides desktop and WebAssembly builds.
CADCraft vs AutoCAD — Key Differences
CADCraft offers source access and free use. Autodesk offers AutoCAD as a commercial product with 2D and 3D workflows. A similar interface does not establish identical file support.
CADCraft Features
The upstream project lists layers, dimensions, object snaps, blocks and a command line. It also labels itself early in development.
Its compatibility notes distinguish desktop from Web: the documented upstream browser build does not read or write DWG. They also describe data-preservation limits. Check the current matrix before moving an important drawing between tools.
How to Try CADCraft Online
Use the official project for CADCraft releases and browser-build instructions. To work here, open a sample or your own drawing in CADEditor.
CADEditor is independently operated. Its adapted browser workspace and format integration are separate from an unmodified upstream CADCraft release.
