About

CADCraft is a fast, open-source, clean-room reimplementation of the AutoCAD workflow, rebuilt in pure Rust: the command line, object snaps, layers, dimensions, hatches, blocks and DXF drawings you already know. It runs natively on macOS, Windows, Linux and FreeBSD, and in the browser via WebAssembly.

What works today

- Command line: keyword prompts, history, AutoComplete, aliases, @dx,dy and @d<a entry, direct distance entry, transparent commands and .scr-style scripts.

- Draw and modify: LINE, PLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, RECTANG, POLYGON, ELLIPSE, SPLINE, XLINE, RAY, DONUT, TEXT and MTEXT, plus ERASE, MOVE, COPY, ROTATE, SCALE, MIRROR, STRETCH, OFFSET, TRIM, EXTEND, FILLET, CHAMFER, BREAK, JOIN, EXPLODE, rectangular and polar ARRAY, draw order and OVERKILL.

- Precision: object snaps (endpoint, midpoint, center, quadrant, intersection, perpendicular, tangent and more), polar tracking, ortho and grid snap.

- Layers and properties: Layer Properties Manager with on/off, freeze, lock and plot states, layer tools, and a Properties palette with per-object editing, linetypes, lineweights and true colour.

- Annotation: all DIM* commands with full DIMSTYLE variables and associative dimensions, MLEADER, TABLE, TrueType fonts, MTEXT formatting codes and a single-stroke drafting font.

- Hatch and blocks: pick-point hatch boundaries with islands, pattern, solid and gradient fills, BLOCK/INSERT, attributes and nested blocks.

- Files and plotting: DXF read/write (R12-2018), DWG read/write (R13-2018), PDF plotting, SVG and PNG export, paper-space layouts, viewports, page setups and PLOT.

- Parametric: geometric and dimensional constraints, AUTOCONSTRAIN, PARAMETERS with expressions and hot grips.

- Automation: an MCP server, a JSON control channel and the cadcraft-cli tool.

Security

No known CVEs for CADCraft.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
