Review
Easy but simplified 2D CAD system.. Allows the user to create 2D drawings from scratch. Free version may not have enough functionality to draw accurate floor plans with dimensions. But program is probably good for homeowners exploring or communicating ideas. More serious CAD users may want the upgrade to CadStd Pro for $25.00. The pro version has not been reviewed, but apparently exports to PDF and has additional functions know to advanced CAD users like trim, offset and fillet which make drawing floor plans easier.

Issues covered include:

• 2D CAD and computer aided drafting and design
