KAD is a 2D CAD software developed by ribbonsoft, consisting of all the features of QCad, making it a complete CAD system.
KAD is a 2D CAD software that is based on QCad by ribbonsoft. This software is suitable for both novice and experienced CAD users. It is open source software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
KAD is developed by Martin Teichmann, who is not affiliated with ribbonsoft. Hence, any bugs are not the responsibility of ribbonsoft. This software is still under development and considered alpha software. It may be unstable and lack functionality, particularly with the KDE user interface. However, the CAD part of KAD is stable.
In order to compile KAD, KDE3 and Qt3, along with the developer packages, must be installed on your computer. KAD uses cmake for compiling. Once you have downloaded and unpacked the source package, create a new directory and compile the software within it. To do so, run the following commands:
tar -xzf kad-0.8.0-src.tgz
mkdir kad-compile
cd kad-compile
cmake ../kad-0.8.0
make
make install
Note that the last command should be executed as a root user in order to install KAD system-wide.
