Online CAD An online CAD editor that works like desktop CAD

Cadlite is 2D CAD that lives in a browser tab. Nothing to install, nothing to update, and the drawing you had open at the office is the one that opens at home.

A drafting tool, not a sketch pad

The parts of desktop CAD that make drafting fast are the parts Cadlite kept.

Command line with aliases

Type L for LINE, TR for TRIM, O for OFFSET. The aliases are editable, like a PGP file.

Object snap and tracking

Endpoint, midpoint, centre, intersection, perpendicular and more, with ortho and polar tracking.

Grips and selection

Click-and-drag grips, window and crossing selection, and selection filters to pick by property.

Layers and blocks

Layer states for what is on, off, frozen or locked, and a standard door and window block library drawn in millimetres.

Dimensions and hatch

Dimension styles, multilines for walls, and hatch patterns for sections and finishes.

Plot

Vector PDF, PNG or print, at a scale and paper size, with a stamp if you want one.

What being online adds

Things desktop CAD makes you arrange yourself.

Your drawings follow you

Projects are kept with your account, and the tabs you had open come back on the next machine.

Autosave and recovery

Work is saved as you go, with earlier versions to recover if something goes wrong.

Teams without file servers

With an organization account, share a drawing with everyone in the organization and let them save their changes.

Any operating system

Windows, macOS, Linux or a Chromebook - anything with a modern browser.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

Open your next drawing in a tab.

No download and no card. Drafting is free for as long as you use it.

Your first editor account is free.
