ChatGPT 6 Pro built AutoCAD clone in 30 minutes, I present you draftline

I have just built autocad alternative for windows and mac free to use and it draws perfectly using AI

If you could make it compatible with AutoCad and release it then my dad would be very happy. He has been looking for a less expensive alternative.

Its released here should work with DXF files, keep in mind its quick demo so some stuff might not work

Code

@wieslawsoltes Here is one of my projects btw (Sample program):

Nice is it .NET based programming language ?

Yes, it's a .NET language that is envisioned as a modern alternative to C#. It borrows syntax and features from languages like Kotlin and Rust. What I'm exceptionally proud of is the macro system that allows you to build custom DSLs. The compiler architecture is itself based on Roslyn. So there is first-class tooling. MSBuild support. I have tried to cover a broad set of workloads in the samples folder in the repo.

This is project in VS Code.

And this is a sample showing two macros (component and markup) within a Blazor DSL.

This is a simple drafting app. It takes tremendous amount of work and edge cases to build something close to AutoCAD.

For sure but try it out it’s already capable

I checked it out. It is good place to begin for a drafting app but I just wanted to mention how massive AutoCAD is. I have been in this industry for 25+ years.

insane 🔥🔥😤

Very true

Thanks for sharing. It looks good but there is no way that was done in 30 minutes.

lol check the chat link you will see the light

That's crazy.

I'm also developing cad, it's just not possible to build cad in 30 minutes, not even 30 days, no matter what model you use. Good trick

This is unbelievable! Thanks for sharing!

Incredible work

amazing, just a few prompts: "I want you to build AutoCad Web clone app using plain html/js very fast rendering engine using WebGPU with full featured real CAD DXF rendering and editing etc support, make UI same as AutoCad Web create better name. Do it as fast as you can."

waiting for who will build the MCP to connect GPT-6 Astra to AutoCAD

It built your mom as well

I'm sure Autodesk is going to go out of business any day now

can we made a open source autocad?!

@semhustej did you see 😮👀
