FoxCAD

Computers are the perfect tools to prepare any project before it’s actually built in reality. For instance, CAD applications make it possible to accurately create 2D objects and 3D models, which can then be exported and plotted. A suitable example here is FoxCAD, letting you create new drawings, or work on existing DWG, DXF, and DWF files.

Once setup is over, you can go ahead and launch the program to see what it’s all about. There’s a generous canvas at your disposal, as well as an intuitive upper toolbar which provides quick access to all edit and manipulation options. Moreover, multiple projects can be active at a time, each stored in its own tab.

On the bright side of things, the application comes with decent file support, and allows you to work on existing projects, given they’re under formats like DWG, DXF, or DWF. However, you can also work on brand new designs, since you benefit from a whole variety of drawing tools.

Objects can be easily manipulated on selection, with quick access to general functions through the context menu. Options include copy, paste, move, scale, trim, extend, join, explode, take screenshot, toggle 3D view, rotate, and more.

When it comes to drawing, the application lets you add lines with custom vector points for easy manipulation. Shapes like circles, triangles, rectangles, curved lines, and arrows can also be added to the design.

Geometric actions make it possible to add vector points through tangent points, adjust dimension, set radius, fill paint, change color, and more. You can also insert text blocks for better explanation of items. Distances and areas can be measured with dedicated tools.

Needless to say that projects can be saved as their original file formats, and you can open recent ones through the home tab. It’s also possible to export designs as PDF, JPG, and PNG, as well as to print on a sheet of paper.

Bottom line is that CAD applications make it possible to create 2D objects and 3D models with great accuracy. FoxCAD comes with a powerful, intuitive set of tools which allow comfortable view and manipulation of DWG, DWF, and DXF files.
