Request for LibreCAD 3 and 2, but mainly for version 3

1) Autolisp support

this could facilitate a migration since AutoCAD

2) DCL support

Autolisp but with GUI

3) 3D Model Space

Is very necessary to create 3D drawings for details and presentations

4) Visual Programming or Python node

this needs to integrate LibreCAD to multiple programs without 2D drawing

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=36299

....

the mentioned request is very necessary to integrate LibreCAD into workflows, FreeCAD already can here a sample:

https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. … mp;t=36299https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=36299

I think if LibreCAD 2 and 3 could have PyFlow nodes or at least Dynamo node to be integrated into multiple workflows.

this is the way. please consider my request, I think is the best way for LibreCAD 2 and 3 futures.

Some kind of integration with other FOSS CAD packages would be great. FreeCAD may never be the perfect CAD drawing package, but it's a mightily good 3D modelling package. Getting the two to work well together would be great.

LibreCAD devs, I think you should join the FreeCAD team.

reason:

FreeCAD has nice parametric 3D tools, but did not complete 2D workflow, I think creates a LibreCAD 3 WB for FreeCAD could be a better option to get more users, FreeCAD is compatible with python and C++ and LibreCAD being in part C++ could be relatively easy migrate.

I heard the Librecad 3 developers lost their motivation due to the lack of users, and FreeCAD always is searching for more devs, I think but could do a great team.

Why do you think that LibreCAD should join FreeCAD? Both programs are totally different. While LibreCAD is a software for 2D technical drawing, FreeCAD is a 3D parametric software with BIM integrated. In terms of programming, one software can't join into other software, like it was a fusion. You should rewrite the code from scratch. Stop thinking about this idea because it's not gonna happen; since it's impossible technically.

If you want that FreeCAD implements LibreCAD functions, you should open issues in its repository: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues

AutoLisp is not open source, so it's not gonna be implemented. Lisp and Python are the options.

What you heard about LibreCAD 3 is not true. LibreCAD 3 is still a work in progress. Releases are missing in the repository.
