QCAD has been largely rewritten since the previous version
(QCAD 2) was updated in pkgsrc, meaning that the changes are
vast. From the authors website:
QCAD 3 comes with a new and improved CAD engine which improves
performance (spatial index) and allows for advanced property
editing and future extensions (dynamic properties). The other
major addition is a powerful and complete ECMAScript interface.
New interactive tools can be developed with a few lines of
ECMAScript but even entire new applications can be developed
using QCAD technology. QCAD 3 is also the first QCAD version
that fully supports the DWG format as well as various different
versions of the DXF format.
The complete ChangeLog is at http://www.qcad.org/en/changelog
1.5.4 release was something of a toy, QCad was thoroughly reworked for 2.0
and could now be called usable for many practical purposes.
Versions 2.0.4.0 (initially) to 2.0.5.0 have been usable in wip for a bit
more than a year, and so seem ready to import.

try to fix any problems that might appear." -wiz@
Updates to pkglint now produce some new suggestions, which I will make and
commit after confirming they don't break anything; at least this version I
already know to build successfully for me.
to ${X11BASE} in the header and library search paths into references to
${LOCALBASE}/share/x11-links. These packages should now be strongly-
buildlinked regardless of whether xpkgwedge is installed.
Changes well-tested on NetBSD-1.5X/i386 with and without xpkgwedge and
lightly-tested on NetBSD-1.5.1/alpha without xpkgwedge.
QCad is a simple 2D CAD System. With QCad you can easily construct and
modify drawings with ISO-texts, dimensions, hatches and many other
features and save them as DXF-files. These DXF-files are the interface
to many CAD-systems such as AutoCAD and many others.
