jDraft is a simple 2D drawing program for creating engineering drawings.
jDraft is a simple 2D drawing program for creating engineering drawings. On a superficial level it resembles simple drawing programs, such as old MacDraw or later day OpenOffice-Draw.
The main design goal of jDraft was to make it possible to draw geometrically accurate/correct drawings in a simple and natural way, not unlike the time honored way of using a compass/divider and a straight edge. jDraft is by no means the only show in town, plenty of 2D CAD software around. Without badmouthing any particular software, I think it is fair to say that while those programs allow the creation of accurate drawings, many of them are not that easy to use. s jDraft attempts to be an animal of a different color, combining the ease of use of simple drawing programs with the accuracy of full blown CAD applications.
