It is. It says solid geometry. And absolutely beats me as to why the hell it was hidden so long. How it compares to a drafting package like ACAD i have no idea.

I am trying to get one user switch to QCad and Blender (For 3D). I have installed Linux in one of his PCs and he has promised to learn the new way whenever he gets time. I observed that ACad uses .dwg and .dfx formats. QCad will only play the .dfx format but not recognize .dwg, so I told him to convert all his files from .dwg to .dfx. Also ACad appears to make files in both formats simultaneously as I saw 2 extensions of the same file in the data folders.
