Hello from Kalamazoo, MI

Post by ryancousins » Fri Nov 13, 2020 8:56 pm

Greetings,

I have been using QCAD for about eight months now and I absolutely love it! I teach computer and tech classes in a high school and I am hoping to introduce QCAD in a future class. Our long-time drafting/woodworking teacher recently retired and I have started to teach some of his classes. He was old school and used only manual drafting tables, which I think is a great way to introduce the fundamentals, especially with most of my students that struggle with the concepts of measurement and scale. We also offer a 3D printing/3D design class where, over the years, I've taught it with Autodesk Inventor, SketchUp, TinkerCAD, and OpenSCAD. But I'd love to use QCAD in a 2D CAD class that bridges the gap between those two courses. As a school we have free access to all of the Autodesk products which is great, but I'd much rather use QCAD due to it's simplistic, streamlined interface and bloat-free installation. For the money I'm blown away at how good it is. I used LibreCAD several years ago and I had no idea what I was missing! I only wish I was better at coding so I could contribute to the program because I really believe in it and wish I could give back and help the project.
