KADsuite^™

Yes — KAD, the core drafting engine, is free with no account or install required. It runs entirely in your browser.

Yes — KAD is built with real touch support, not just a shrunk desktop layout: gesture-based aiming while drafting, pinch to zoom, long-press for context menus, and a command bar designed for one-handed use. It works well on tablets in particular, where the larger screen suits real drafting work.

No. KAD is browser-based CAD software — open it on desktop or mobile and start drafting immediately, with no download or installation step.

Yes — KAD supports DXF import and export for interoperability with other CAD software, plus OpenSCAD (.scad) export for 3D/parametric workflows.

KAD itself is general-purpose 2D drafting, well suited to technical and mechanical work. For wall-aware floor plan drafting specifically, the suite includes KONSTRUCT, built for architectural and construction layouts.

Line, polyline, arc, circle, rectangle, and polygon drawing; trim, extend, break, offset, mirror, fillet, and chamfer editing; dimensioning with AWS welding-symbol support; and layer management.

Yes — real-time multi-user collaboration is built directly into KAD, no separate app required. Paid KLOUD tiers add cloud save, sync, and extended collaboration features; see kloud.kadsuite.com for plans.

Yes. KAD ships with standard drafting layers — SOLID, HIDDEN, CENTER, LEADER and DIM — and you can add your own. Each layer has an editable colour, linetype (continuous, dashed, center, phantom), lineweight, and visibility toggle, all editable inline from the layer panel. Layers export to DXF with their colour and linetype intact, so drawings open correctly in AutoCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD and other DXF-compatible CAD software.

Yes — KAD exports directly to OpenSCAD (.scad) in three modes: Extrude turns your 2D profile into a 3D solid at a height you set, Flat 2D gives a profile to extrude yourself, and Raw outputs bare shapes to compose manually. Closed shapes drawn inside another closed shape are automatically subtracted as holes, so a plate with bolt holes exports as a plate with bolt holes rather than overlapping solids.
