Trend

The new way to create quick 2D drawings

Many users do not want to start a complete 3D CAD project, create a model, generate a drawing and define a drawing frame for every small plate, angle or sketch. Quick technical 2D drawings need a tool that is immediately ready. This is exactly what LiberoDraft was built for: light, fast, platform-independent and usable directly in the web browser.

Platform

A CAD program for almost every device

Whether Windows PC, Mac, Linux computer, iPad or tablet: LiberoDraft starts through the browser and is available immediately without a classic installation. Ideal for the workshop, school, office, field work and quick design ideas in between.

LiberoDraft v1.3.35 is now available

LiberoDraft book updated to v1.1.35.
Clean up drawing (New)
Large files can now be streamlined in a targeted manner.
Adjustable mouse wheel increments when placing (New)
If a selection is attached to the mouse pointer during insertion or placement, Alt+mouse wheel now scales it in fixed increments, while Alt+Shift+mouse wheel scales it in increments of 1—the factor field in the additional toolbar updates accordingly. When rotating, Ctrl+mouse wheel rotates by 1°, and Ctrl+Shift+mouse wheel rotates by 5°.
Hide function in addition to Isolate (New)
Dimensioning: Tolerance class is automatically updated

18.08.2026 Update

LiberoDraft v1.3.22 is now available!

From 2D CAD in the browser to a complete drafting environment: Since version 1.0, features such as sheets with viewports, dimensioning with custom dimension types, hatching, groups, and DXF import and export have been added - and most recently, a whole range of new tools: Mitered double lines, the complete tangent family, slotted holes and banana holes with live fields and width values taken directly from the drawing, plus an “Isolate” feature for focused work in crowded drawings. All directly in the browser, with no installation required.

24.07.2026 Update

LiberoDraft v0.9.211

A major expansion with structural, substantial new features and improvements:
• Major updates to paper space and layouts
In this expansion stage, a fully fledged paper space emerged: multiple sheets (layouts) per drawing, viewports with their own scale, per-viewport layer and object-type visibility — and dimensioning directly through the viewport with automatic updates when the model changes. Also numerous day-to-day improvements, from the BOM with position balloons to interaction with add-ons.
• True DXF blocks and a new block manager
• Dimension types (mechanical, timber construction, architectural/building, as well as custom) now unambiguously define every setting

13.07.2026 Update

LiberoDraft v0.9.165

Many new features and improvements:
• CAM offset for milling toolpaths
• Chain dimensioning and running dimension
• Ordinate dimensioning
• Timber dimensioning
• Architectural and building dimensioning
• Design Review GD&T
• BOM and position balloons
• Block management, variants, and replacement
• Form and position tolerances (GD&T)

DXF import and dimensioning news...

When DXF files with open polylines are imported, they can be “exploded” immediately after import.
Elements that are very close together can now be dimensioned more reliably.
