CadZinho is a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, aimed at a desktop application for 2D technical drawings.
Try it: Releases
- Free software: permissive license, both in its own code and in that of third parties;
- Portable: different platforms and operating systems, no administrator privileges, few external dependencies;
- Extensible: script language (Lua) that allows the addition of new features, automation, customization. Perhaps this is the most ambitious goal, as it intends to make CadZinho a base platform for more specialized applications.
