IngeCAD
by Marco Sumari Tellez
View and edit DWG/DXF drawings
About
Free 2D CAD for Linux in the spirit of classic AutoCAD: the same keyboard commands (L, TR, M, Z...), the classic pre-ribbon interface, and faithful opening of the DWG files colleagues send — everything the drawing carries that IngeCAD does not understand is preserved intact when saving. The Terrain plugin can fetch ground elevations from a public global DEM (AWS Terrain Tiles) when you ask for them; that is the only use IngeCAD makes of the network. Draw and edit with AutoCAD's muscle memory, blocks with a full Block Editor, layers, hatches, dimensions, layouts and printing to scale. Reads and writes DWG through LibreDWG, bundled.
Permissions
2 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.
- X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
--socket=x11 - full access to your home folder
--filesystem=home - Wayland display
--socket=wayland - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - GPU acceleration
--device=dri - network
--share=network
Who publishes this
Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.
- org.ingecad.IngeCAD claims the domain ingecad.org; only its owner can prove that
publisher:namespace - the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
ingecad:build-options:--share=network - fetches from the network during the build (nothing to audit beforehand): pip3 install --prefix=${FLATPAK_DEST} --no-warn-script-location -r reqs.txt
