Guys as you probably know I`m not a developer (not yet anyway -still learning the basics).

So from a users point of view, I think just keep it simple for now -yes there are still things to complete as mentioned but just concentrate on getting Version 2 out -and most of all guys take our time to get it right.


You are not under pressure from anyone, the only pressure will come from yourselves!

I thank Ries for even getting the whole thing started and of course the original developers. So to my "outside" users view I think that Ries and you original developers should yes of course set "mile stones" but make the whole thing manageable and have fun doing it not under pressure.

I personally do not want an Autocad clone -I like the way and feel of LibreCAD just as it is. However I agree with all the above comments that of course some of the features of other CAD programs would be great to see...in time.

The other thing is I`ve used and Know AutoCAD, Microstation etc.. etc.. and for me Librecad is just the simple 2D CAD program I want to see. For simple Laser cutting plans or DIY work/hobby work LibreCAD is great..

My question is .. Are people expecting a 2d AutoCAD alternative to use for "commercial" purposes for free?
