Constraint-based sketcher extension for Blender that allows to create precise 2d shapes by defining a set of geometric constraints like tangent, distance, angle, equal and more. Sketches stay editable and support a fully non-destructive workflow.

:warning: Experimental extension: This is still work in progress, don't use it on production files without a backup.

Minimum version: Blender 5.0

More than just an extension learn more: CADsketcher.com
