Hi everybody,
I was using Sketchup for years as my 2D landscape design software. That is, until I got a new computer and was no longer able to use my old version of Sketchup. Trimble's new pricing policy is prohibitive, especially as I am in semi-retirement mode. That said, would QCAD be a good alternative for down-and-dirty 2D plan view landscape designs? Does it offer a library of landscape symbols such as trees and such?
Thanks in advance.

You can use any DXF/DWG or SVG symbol library with QCAD.
Please refer also to our part library tutorial about finding parts and using the library:
