Have a .dwg? Convert it to .dxf first (AutoCAD “Save As”, or a free DWG→DXF converter). Native DWG support is coming.

Object snap modes
Which snap kinds are offered while picking points. F3 toggles snapping as a whole.
Perpendicular and tangent need a start point — they measure from the point you are drawing from. Nearest is off by default: it hits on any nearby entity, which makes free placement hard.

Multi-contour jobs, pockets, drilling and laser. Inner contours are cut before outer ones.

What broke, what's missing, what should work differently? Drawings that import badly are especially useful.
Keyboard shortcuts
Hand vs Select vs Lasso
- Select / S
- Default tool. Arrow cursor. Click = select, plain drag = rectangular marquee (L→R window, R→L crossing) — never pans; ⇧ drag = freehand lasso
- Hand / H
- Grab cursor. Drag empty = pan, drag a selected object = move, click = select. Middle-drag pans in any tool; hold Space for temporary Hand.
- Lasso / V
- Crosshair. Plain drag = freehand lasso (L→R window, R→L crossing) — never pans; ⇧ drag = rectangular marquee
- drag member
- Dragging any member of a multi-selection moves the WHOLE selection as one unit (one undo)
- drag grip
- Edit an endpoint / vertex / radius / center (osnap + Tab-to-type)
- right-click / long-press
- Context menu: Group / Ungroup / Move to layer / Properties / Copy / Paste / Erase
- ⇧ click
- Add / remove from selection
- ⇧⌥ drag
- Freehand lasso (also works in Hand)
- Esc
- Exit any tool → your home tool (default Select; switch via the status-bar chip or View ▸ "Esc returns to Hand"); Esc again clears the selection
- ⌦ / ⌫
- Erase selection
Object snap
- F3
- Toggle object snap (or OSNAP chip / OS command)
- □ △ ○ ✕
- Endpoint / midpoint / center / intersection
- ◇ ⊥ ⊙
- Quadrant / perpendicular / tangent
- ⌛ ⊗
- Nearest (off by default) / node (POINT entities)
- priority
- endpoint › intersection = node › midpoint › perpendicular = tangent › center › quadrant › nearest › grid
- ⊥ / tangent
- Only offered once a start point exists (they measure from it)
- snap targets
- Your sketch AND any loaded DXF geometry
- collinear
- Snapping onto a collinear line endpoint hints "J joins"
Ortho & polar tracking
- F8
- Ortho — lock to horizontal / vertical (ORTHO chip or command)
- F10
- Polar — snap to angle increments (POLAR chip or command)
- exclusive
- Turning one on turns the other off, as in AutoCAD
- increment
- Default 45° — right-click the POLAR chip to change it
- ⇧ hold
- Momentary ortho, whatever the latched mode
- precedence
- Typed value › object snap › ortho/polar › grid
- typed + track
- Type a length with tracking on and the ray supplies the angle
Command bar
- a–z
- Type any letter to open the command bar
- S
- SCALE, STRETCH, SELECT…
- ↑ ↓
- Pick a match
- Enter
- Run (exact alias runs immediately)
Modify verbs
- M / CO
- Move / Copy
- RO / SC
- Rotate / Scale
- MI / E
- Mirror / Erase
- ST / AR
- Stretch / Array
- TR / EX
- Trim / Extend
- O / F
- Offset / Fillet
- CHA / BR
- Chamfer / Break
- J / X
- Join / Explode
- G
- Group / Ungroup
Draw & clipboard
- L P R
- Line / Polyline / Rectangle
- C A
- Circle / Arc (3-point)
- EL POL
- Ellipse / Polygon (N sides)
- T MT
- Text / Multiline text — MT wraps to a width; Enter adds a line, ⇧Enter commits
- SPL
- Spline — click fit points, Enter finishes; the curve passes through every one
- HAT BH
- Hatch — click inside a region, or pick boundary objects then Enter. Pattern / scale / angle preview live; islands are found automatically
- ⌘C ⌘V ⌘X
- Copy / Paste / Cut
- ⌘Z ⇧⌘Z
- Undo / Redo
- Tab / type
- Dynamic input (12', 12'6", decimals)
Inquiry & annotation
- DI
- Distance — two points → distance, ΔX, ΔY and angle
- AA
- Area — pick a closed object, or pick points and press Enter. Arc segments count exactly
- LI
- List — typed property dump of the selection
- ID
- Coordinates of a picked point
- MA
- Match properties — pick a source, then paint objects. Copies layer, color and style (dim style, hatch pattern, text height); never geometry
- PT
- Point — places POINT entities (node osnap bites them)
- DIV ME
- Divide into N / Measure at a fixed step — marks a curve by TRUE arc length, bulges and splines included
- REVC
- Revision cloud — drag a rectangle, or press P for a freehand polygon. Stored as a normal bulged polyline, so it exports anywhere
Dimensions
- DLI DAL
- Linear / Aligned — pick two origins, drag the dim line
- Enter
- At the first pick: select a line or polyline segment instead
- DAN
- Angular — vertex, then a point on each ray
- DRA DDI
- Radius / Diameter — click a circle or arc, drag the text
- DCO
- Continue — chains from the last dimension's second origin
- LE
- Leader — click points, Enter, then type the note
- D
- Dimension Style — arrows, text height, units, overall scale
- osnap
- Snapping an origin makes the dimension associative: it re-measures when the geometry moves
