Cadjitsu 1.2 brings Fusion 360-style sketch tools: mirror and circular patterns with live dialogs, construction lines, and lines projected from other sketches that stay linked to them.

Downloads

File For
Cadjitsu-1.2.0-macOS.dmg macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later on Apple Silicon
Cadjitsu-1.2.0-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz 64-bit Linux with X11 and OpenGL

macOS:

  1. Open the dmg and drag Cadjitsu onto Applications.
  2. The app is ad-hoc signed, so clear the quarantine flag once:
    xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Cadjitsu.app
  3. Open Cadjitsu.

Linux:

  1. Unpack it: tar xzf Cadjitsu-1.2.0-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  2. Run Cadjitsu-1.2.0-Linux-x86_64/cadjitsu.

It brings its own Qt and OpenCASCADE; the system only provides X11 and OpenGL. On Debian or Ubuntu, if something is missing: sudo apt install libgl1 libegl1 libxkbcommon-x11-0 libxcb-cursor0.

What's new in 1.2

Mirror (SKETCH > MODIFY, or right-click)

  • A dialog opens at once: Objects, then the Mirror Line, a line or a sketch axis, named in the dialog ("Y axis").
  • The mirror image shows before you commit, and it stays symmetric to the original when the original changes.
  • Points on the mirror line are shared, so half an outline drawn up to the line becomes one closed profile.

Circular Pattern

  • A dialog: Objects, Centre Point (a point, the origin or anywhere), Quantity (the original included) and Angle.
  • The copies redraw as you type. Copied dimensions follow the original's.

Picking in the dialogs

  • Click a field to pick into it; its × clears it.
  • Box-select Objects: drag left to right for what lies inside, right to left for what the box touches.

Construction geometry

  • Press X, or right-click a line and choose Make Construction / Make Normal.
  • Construction lines are dotted and never make profiles; they are guides for the drawing.

Project (P)

  • Earlier sketches show faintly; click their lines, circles, arcs or points to bring them into this sketch, usually from another plane.
  • Projected geometry is purple and fixed, and follows its original when it changes. It works as a normal line, and can be made construction and back.

Browser

  • Right-click a sketch for Edit Sketch or Delete. It asks first if features use the sketch, and one undo brings it back.

AI agents (MCP)

  • sketch_mirror, sketch_pattern, project_to_sketch and set_construction.
  • Sketches report their curves with ids, so an agent can pick them.
