A Rust CAD application recreating AutoCAD-style drafting, dimensions, layouts and DXF/DWG workflows.
A Rust CAD application recreating AutoCAD-style drafting, dimensions, layouts and DXF/DWG workflows. The upstream README explicitly targets Autodesk AutoCAD workflows and describes a separate Rust implementation. Source review does not establish clean-room legality or full behavioral parity; no REA involvement is claimed by this listing. The roadmap reports incomplete precision drafting, block editing and plot styles. Saving drops entities the app does not model, and DWG output has not been checked in AutoCAD; work on copies only. We have not installed, run or audited it.
