That's really exciting news! QCAD is useful in many simpler 2D
applications. I used it to make drawings to apply for a building permit.
DWG support would make it useful for me at work too, where we currently
use AutoCAD to drive engravers.
It would be nice if QCAD had a command-line interface, though. The UI is
just too slow for heavy use, in my experience.
