Go get LiteCAD and you will be able to work with LCD, DWG, DXF, or SHP files. The simple explanation is that this application is a 2D CAD program that provides multiple functions needed to come up with drafts and edit CAD files.

Downloading a 12.1MB archive is the first step you must take, should you decide to give LiteCAD a try. Once you have the archive, you need only extract its contents and run the LiteCAD executable. No, you won’t have to go through any installation process. Running LiteCAD.exe is the only thing you have to do to get started with the application.

The file you loaded into LiteCAD, the draft you’re working on, is presented front and center on the application’s interface. A Properties panel is presented to the left, the Command Line is down at the bottom, and a toolbar with various functions LiteCAD can perform is presented at the top. From the View menu you can pick and choose which elements are displayed on this very easy to figure out interface.

LiteCAD’s list of features includes the following: support for LCD, DWG, DXF, and SHP files; point line circle, arc, rectangle, and other graphics objects; raster BMP, JPG, TIF, and other image types; block, layer dimension style, and other named objects; copy, move, scale, mirror, and other editing operations for graphic objects; TFF fonts and AutoCAD SHP/SHX fonts are supported; AutoCAD hatch patterns (PAT) and linetypes (LIN) are supported; zoom in and out; multiple snap modes, import and export; print preview; and more.

LiteCAD is a free application. Please note that you will have to purchase a LiteCAD SDK license if you’re going to use its components for software development.

If you want a versatile 2D CAD program, you’re very well advised to go get LiteCAD.

Pros

You won’t have to install anything to get started with LiteCAD. You won’t have to go through a steep learning curve to get accustomed to the LiteCAD interface. LiteCAD is a versatile 2D CAD program that’s offered for the great price of free.

Cons

None that I could think of.
