From a QCAD user:
I have an Apple computer with an M1 or M2 chip. Which package should I download?

QCAD Professional 3.28.1 (e) for macOS 11.x, 12.x, 13.x arm64 (M1/M2, NOT for regular Intel Macs!)
or
QCAD Professional 3.28.1 (f) for macOS Qt 6 11.x, 12.x, 13.x arm64 (M1/M2, NOT for regular Intel Macs!)

Please download the package indicating "Qt 6":

QCAD Professional 3.28.1 (f) for macOS Qt 6 11.x, 12.x, 13.x arm64 (M1/M2, NOT for regular Intel Macs!)

This uses the newer version 6.x of Qt. The other package uses Qt 5. If you have an external monitor, you might experience problems with the Qt 6 package. In this case, install:

QCAD Professional 3.28.1 (e) for macOS 11.x, 12.x, 13.x arm64 (M1/M2, NOT for regular Intel Macs!)
