CRITICAL: - execute_doc_api: reject tab_id != bound tab (confused deputy); test doc_api_tab_mismatch_is_rejected. - bulge_arc_segment: fix negative/CW bulge center (apothem magnitude + sign picks side; was double-sign-mirrored); test CW-vs-CCW center offset. - cold-tess budget: move mass_cache/cold_tess_used to per-tab Scene so the budget persists across DocApi dispatches (was reset per request); budget-exhausted -> approximate meshes.metrics fallback instead of error. WARNING: - Loft: add BULK_ITEM_CAP (was uncapped -> unbounded kernel call from one request). - CreateMany: pre-validate EntitySpec::Curve (ellipse ratio) in prepare phase -> all-or-nothing restored; regression test. - Partial Ellipse: offset start/end_parameter by rot_z on rotation; regression test. - resolve_body: add with_body borrow accessor (host overrides to borrow cache in place, O(1)); bounds() uses it instead of deep-cloning the B-rep per query. - add_raster_image: validate file path (non-empty, image extension, reject UNC/traversal); regression test. SUGGESTION: - deploy: bump API_VERSION 5 -> 6 so DocApi plugins are gated at handshake on old hosts (append-only wire + defaulted method keep old V2-V5 plugins loading). - dead code: wire query_name into apply_queries error labels; host uses crate's ObjectId::from_handle/to_handle (drop local duplicates); delete is_null/backend_mut. - mock drift: test mock now stores curve specs + computes curve bounds (aligns with example mock); Spline/Dimension bounds delegate to points_aabb. 623 host lib + 8 crate + 3 consistency + 34 plugin_api green.

Open CAD Studio
Open-source 2D drafting and 3D modeling for desktop and web, built with Rust.
Launch the web app · Download the desktop app · Join the discussion
Overview
Open CAD Studio is a cross-platform application for technical drawing, layout work, and solid modeling. It reads and writes DWG and DXF drawings natively, with a shared editing core across the desktop and browser versions.
The project is under active development. Keep backups of important production drawings and report reproducible problems through GitHub Issues.
Highlights
- Native drawing workflow — open, edit, recover, and save DWG and DXF files without a conversion service.
- Precise 2D drafting — lines, polylines, curves, splines, hatches, object snaps, tracking, layers, blocks, and external references.
- Documentation tools — text, dimensions, leaders, tolerances, tables, model space, paper space, viewports, and plot styles.
- Kernel-backed 3D modeling — solid primitives, extrusion, revolution, sweep, loft, Boolean operations, and ACIS entity tessellation.
- GPU rendering — accelerated 2D and 3D viewports through
wgpu, with orthographic and perspective cameras. - Extensible workflows — native plugins, command scripts, headless conversion, and a line-based JSON automation API.
File workflows
| Format or workflow | Support |
|---|---|
| DWG | Read and write; versioned save targets from R14 through 2018 |
| DXF | Read and write; versioned save targets from R14 through 2018 |
| BAK / SV$ | Open drawing backups and autosave files |
| OBJ | Import polygon meshes |
| LandXML | Import CgPoint survey points |
| STL | Export 3D mesh data |
| STEP AP203 | Export 3D mesh data |
| Plot layouts and selected geometry on desktop | |
| CSV | Extract entity property data |
| CTB / STB | Load and edit plot style tables |
Desktop or web
Use the web app for immediate access with no installation. Drawings are selected through the browser and saved as local downloads.
Use the desktop application for native file associations, file-manager thumbnails, system printing, PDF output, external plugins, command scripts, and headless automation. Release builds are available for Windows, Linux, and Apple Silicon macOS.
Install
Download all current packages from the latest release.
Windows
Choose one of these signed x86-64 packages:
OpenCADStudio-*-windows-x86_64-installer.msi— recommended installer with Start Menu shortcuts, DWG/DXF file associations, and drawing thumbnails.OpenCADStudio-*-windows-x86_64-portable.exe— standalone application; no installation required.
Linux
Download the x86-64 AppImage, make it executable, and run it:
chmod +x OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
macOS
The published macOS package supports Apple Silicon:
- Download
OpenCADStudio-*-macos-arm64.dmg. - Open the image and drag
OpenCADStudio.appinto Applications. - If Gatekeeper blocks the first launch, approve the app from System Settings → Privacy & Security.
The application is ad-hoc signed but is not currently notarized by Apple.
Languages
Open CAD Studio can follow the system language or use any of these 21 interface languages:
Arabic · Brazilian Portuguese · Bulgarian · Czech · Dutch · English · Finnish · French · German · Greek · Hindi · Hungarian · Italian · Japanese · Korean · Polish · Russian · Simplified Chinese · Spanish · Traditional Chinese · Turkish
Change the language from the application settings. The browser version also uses the browser's preferred locale when System is selected.
Build from source
Desktop
Requirements:
- Git
- Current stable Rust toolchain
- Platform graphics and font development libraries
On Ubuntu or Debian, install the native dependencies with:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev \
libxrandr-dev libxkbcommon-dev libwayland-dev libfontconfig1-dev \
libfreetype6-dev
Then build and run:
git clone https://github.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio.git
cd OpenCADStudio
cargo build --release --bin OpenCADStudio
The resulting binary is written to target/release/OpenCADStudio (OpenCADStudio.exe on Windows).
Web
Install the WebAssembly target and build tools once:
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo install trunk wasm-bindgen-cli
Start the development server:
trunk serve
Automation
The desktop binary supports one-shot conversion, a persistent headless server, and a client-neutral MCP endpoint for AI applications:
OpenCADStudio --export input.dwg output.dxf
OpenCADStudio --serve
OpenCADStudio --serve --port 4242
OpenCADStudio --mcp
The automation server exchanges one JSON object per line over standard input/output or a local TCP socket. The self-contained MCP endpoint exposes the live desktop editor through the same tools to every compatible client. To connect a client, configure it to launch OpenCADStudio --mcp. See the MCP control guide.
Plugins
Desktop plugins run in separate processes and communicate with the host through the versioned plugin API. The browser build does not load native plugins.
