01 / DraftCraft

Drafting with the ribbon you know, built in pure Rust.

DWG and DXF drawings with the command line, object snaps, layers, dimensions, hatches, blocks and layouts you already know. Native on macOS, Windows and Linux — and agents can drive it through MCP.

02 / Highlights

What's inside.

01

The workflow you know

Type L, click two points, type @5<45, press Enter. Prompts with clickable keywords, AutoComplete, object snaps, polar tracking, ortho, grips and right-click-to-repeat behave the way drafting habit expects.

02

The ribbon you know

Ten tabs with large, small and split buttons, the layer and property lists, the application menu and the Quick Access Toolbar — the same on macOS, Windows and Linux.

03

Open files

DWG and DXF are read and written at the version you choose, 2000 to 2018, and open in AutoCAD. Plot to PDF, export SVG and PNG.

04

Exact conic arcs

CONIC draws ellipse, parabola and hyperbola arcs — the soft corners fillets can't make — saved as rational splines every DWG and DXF program reads.

05

Fast and native

Pure Rust and egui: no Electron, no web view. Drawing happens on the GPU through Metal, DirectX 12 or Vulkan, with a CPU fallback.

06

Built for agents

Every menu item, tool and prompt is a command. Agents type at the command line, call commands with JSON, inspect and render the drawing — over MCP, a control channel or the CLI.

What works today

Young, and moving fast.

2D drafting, dimensioning, layouts and plotting work. Objects DraftCraft doesn't model yet can be lost on save.

03 / Conic arcs

Corners a fillet can't draw.

Circular fillets can't make the soft, continuous corners of a phone, a car body or a bottle. CONIC draws an exact piece of an ellipse, a parabola or a hyperbola — and saves it as a rational spline that AutoCAD and every DXF and DWG program open and edit as usual.

◇ Try it · CONICHyperbola
STARTENDAPEXMIDPOINTρ 0.60
0.60
EllipseParabola · 0.5Hyperbola

Four inputs

  1. 01Start — where the arc begins
  2. 02Apex — where the tangents at the two ends meet
  3. 03End — where the arc ends
  4. 04Rho — the shape: type a value, or click a point it should pass through

Rho is where the curve crosses the line from the chord's midpoint to the apex: below 0.5 it's an ellipse, at 0.5 a parabola, above it a hyperbola that hugs the corner.

04 / Quick start

Type like you always have.

AutoCAD command names and aliases, prompts with clickable keywords, AutoComplete, @dx,dy, @d<a, #x,y, direct distance entry and transparent commands. Start typing anywhere in the drawing and it goes to the command line.

05 / Agents

Built to be driven by agents, too.

Add DraftCraft's MCP server to Claude or any MCP client and the agent draws in the open window while you watch — on macOS it opens the app when needed. With no --connect it works on its own, without a window.
