Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about CAD Land, the free YQArch plugin and everything on this site.

10 questions · YQArch · Downloads · Contact
Is CAD Land free?
Yes, completely. Every tutorial, every command in the dictionary, the cheat sheet PDF and the YQArch guide are free. If we ever launch a paid course we will say so clearly — nothing on this site will suddenly cost money.
Is YQArch really free?
Yes. YQArch has been free since 2013 — written by an architecture firm and released for everyone. We host the official file ourselves so it downloads quickly, and the source is yqarch.cn.
Which AutoCAD versions does YQArch support?
AutoCAD 2004 through 2024, both 32-bit and 64-bit, plus GstarCAD 8 and 2020–2021. If a command misbehaves on your version, run YQLANG then YQUNITS first — that fixes most issues.
Is it safe to download?
The file we host is a byte-for-byte copy of the official release from yqarch.cn. Still, scan any plugin with your antivirus before installing — that is standard practice for all software, not a warning about YQArch specifically.
Why do you ask for my email?
So we can send you the free resource you requested, plus one CAD tip a week. That is it. No spam, no selling your address, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
How do I learn AutoCAD fast?
One command at a time, used immediately. Follow the daily Shorts, look the command up in the dictionary, then use it in a real drawing the same day. Twenty minutes a day beats a weekend marathon.
Where should I start on this site?
Brand new? Open the command dictionary. Want speed? Read the YQArch guide — it turns six clicks into one keystroke. Learn by watching? Every video has written notes on the Lessons page.
Can I use these resources in my own work?
Yes. The cheat sheet is yours to print and pin above your monitor. Play the videos at work, share the links with your team — just don't resell the resources as your own.
Do you do sponsorships or collaborations?
Yes. Software companies, CAD tool makers and course creators are all welcome. Reach us at iliyasworks@gmail.com with a short description of what you have in mind.
I found a mistake on the site. Can I report it?
Please do — it genuinely helps. Email iliyasworks@gmail.com with the page and what looks wrong, and we will fix it.
