EchoCad QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — EchoCad supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Import DXF drawings into QGIS with CAD layers, colours, line types, hatch patterns and text intact. DWG is opened directly by EchoCad Pro.
About
EchoCad reads DXF drawings the way they were drawn: one QGIS layer per CAD layer, entity colour, line type and line width carried over, hatch patterns rebuilt from the drawing's own definitions, and text at its original size, rotation and colour. Everything runs locally - drawings never leave your machine. QGIS itself cannot open DWG files newer than the 2000 format. This free edition reads DXF (save as DXF from the CAD you use). EchoCad Pro opens DWG (R14 to 2018 and newer) directly in QGIS with a bundled converter, works offline on closed networks, and adds block attribute extraction, batch folder conversion and layer mapping profiles: https://echocad.pages.dev. The interface follows your QGIS language: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese and Chinese are included.
