BabaCAD

AutoCAD is the best-known CAD tool out there, and for good reason: it is a properly good tool for computer-aided design. The problem is that AutoCAD is a bit pricey – consequently, users who need CAD functionality but don’t want to part with a lot of money for it, need to search for alternatives. BabaCAD is such an alternative. It puts useful CAD functionality at your fingertips and it does it for the awesome price of free. It is fast, precise, and free CAD software for Windows.

Since you will have to go through a simple installation procedure, I’s certain that you won’t have any problems getting BabaCAD up and running on your PC. After all, you need only download an installer, run it, and then follow the instructions presented by a setup wizard. The whole thing will take little of your time and will require a minimal amount of effort.

The interface is just what you would expect from an application of this type: a main panel that presents the drawing you’re working on; buttons and menus for various functions to help you with your drawing are presented all around this main panel. The good thing is that you will immediately feel at home with this interface, if you’ve used CAD software in the past, of course. And if you haven’t, it shouldn't take long to figure out the interface.

Getting accustomed to the functionality may not be as easy as getting accustomed to the interface. If you need any help, turn to the detailed User Guide that comes bundled with BabaCAD. If you’re not a big fan of text and you want a visual means of getting help, check out the tutorials section on BabaCAD’s official website.

BabaCAD provides support for DWG and DXF files, has a handy undo/redo function, has several drawing options to offer (point, line, circle, arc, and so on), has several modify tools to offer (rotate, duplicate, and more), features a handy plot preview function, and more. Since BabaCAD is free software, you have all the time in the world to uncover all the functionality it has to offer.

BabaCAD nicely bundles together three elements: CAD functionality, user friendly interface, the great price of free.
