The status-bar units button wrote INSUNITS, which nothing on screen reads. INSUNITS only tells the drawing how to scale content arriving from elsewhere, so picking a unit relabelled the drawing and changed nothing visible — the selector looked broken because the variable it moved was invisible. Point the button at LUNITS instead, the setting that decides how every coordinate and distance is written, and give the three questions the word "units" runs together a place each: - The button offers the five length formats, each shown beside a sample of itself, so Engineering and Architectural are told apart by sight. - UNITS / DDUNITS opens a real dialog: length and angle format and precision, the direction angle zero points, whether positive angles run clockwise, and the insertion unit. Its sample comes from the same formatters the drawing uses, so it cannot drift from the readout. - DWGUNITS converts. Model geometry, viewport framing, the header's length defaults and each dimension style's scale all move together in one undo step; paper space is left alone, since the sheet is still the same sheet. Locked layers are converted too — a half-converted drawing would be at two scales at once. The coordinate readout formatted at four decimal places whatever the drawing asked for; it now goes through the same format_length the properties panel uses. That made the angle formats reachable in turn, so degrees-minutes-seconds now carries the d/'/" marks that say which convention it is, and surveyor's units are written at all. Typed input is still plain decimal: a length the readout writes as 5'-6 1/2" cannot yet be typed back. ANGBASE and ANGDIR are stored but not yet applied to displayed directions.

Open CAD Studio
OCS is a CAD application for 2D drafting and 3D modeling, built with Rust. Reads and writes DWG and DXF files natively. Also has a web version now!

Installation
Linux (AppImage)
Download OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage from the latest release, then:
chmod +x OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
No installation required — runs directly on any modern Linux distribution.
Windows
Download OpenCADStudio-*-windows-x86_64.exe from the latest release and run it directly. Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" because the binary is not yet code-signed — click More info → Run anyway.
macOS (Apple Silicon)
Apple Silicon (M-series) only; Intel macOS isn't built. The app is ad-hoc signed but not Apple-notarised (notarisation requires a paid Apple Developer ID), so macOS Gatekeeper guards the first launch. Pick whichever path is easiest:
Option A — Homebrew (recommended):
brew install --cask --no-quarantine \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio/main/packaging/homebrew/open-cad-studio.rb
--no-quarantine lets Gatekeeper skip the unsigned-app prompt. See packaging/homebrew/ for publishing this as a brew tap.
Option B — manual .dmg:
Download OpenCADStudio-*-macos-arm64.dmg from the latest release, open it, and drag OpenCADStudio.app to /Applications. If the first launch is blocked, clear the quarantine flag once:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenCADStudio.app
On older macOS you can instead right-click OpenCADStudio.app → Open and confirm; on macOS Ventura and later, approve it via System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
