Seems you've never tried to build a wall.Īs I am the owner of my time, i've found this approach to be one of the quickest to work, with the flexibility to use photograps, scans, embedded Calc sheets, and objects in any way i want inside the drawings. In my area of work ( construction / buildings / technical facilities ), the scales are from 1:10 ( details ) to 1:100 ( general plans ), and when executed, you CAN'T demand a precision of more than a few cm. I can resize all/part of a draw in a few keystrokes (try F4 sometime), have consistent measuring methods, changes the dimensions when changing scale sizes, etc. Of course, I may be wrong, and an enginner may take less than 3 hours to make a commercial floor plan in 1:50 scale with another CAD program, but I don't think so.Ībove all, Draw lets me work in paper space, WYSIWYG, cut/copy'n'paste between different documents, multi page documents, layers, blocks, macros, etc. So I can, form a LONG experience assure you that Open Office Draw is more than adequate to make engineering drawings in metric units. With it comes a wide variety of lines, shapes, and polylines to draw your plans, whereas a series of measuring tools ensure that everything is precisely where it needs to be.I've been using AutoCad, Corel Draw, Star Office & Open Office as a floor planing drawing programs since corel 3.5 / AutoCad 2.9, yes a lot of years.
