LibreCAD is a free computer-aided design Linux application for 2D design. It also supports 2D design applications like Linux, macOS, Unix, Windows operating systems. The LibreCAD 2D design application was developed as a fork of QCad Community Edition. The GUI of LibreCAD is based on Qt4 libraries, so it runs on several platforms in the same way. This application is written in C ++ languages, and most of these interfaces and handles concepts are like AutoCAD, making it easier for users to use it with this professional CAD app. The DXF file format uses the system to import and save LibreCAD files and allows exporting many other file formats. It can read DXF and DWG files and can write DXF, PDF, and SVG files. In this article, we are going to discuss How To Install LibreCAD 2D Design Application On Ubuntu Linux.
