QCAD Community Edition

If you are looking for the free open source QCAD Community Edition, you can download the trial version for your platform (see above) and then remove the QCAD Professional add-on running in trial mode (click Remove in the Trial widget and follow on screen instructions).

Alternatively, you may compile your own package from sources below.

Qt Source Code

QCAD uses Qt 5, a cross-platform C++ framework. You can download the source code of Qt 5.10.1 for all platforms from the link below, or obtain it from the Qt Company.

The LGPL Open Source license under which Qt ships with QCAD, confers various rights to you as the user, including the right to recompile the Qt libraries for your platform. To do that follow the documentation shown on the Qt website.

Note: To compile the QCAD Community Edition against Qt 6.x you also need qtjsapi and qcadjsapi.
