PythonCAD Code Design

http://www.pythoncad.org/code_layout.html

A number of conventions have emerged while writing the Python code for PythonCAD. These conventions, unfortunately, are not consistent throughout the entire code base, as they tend to arise after recognizing shortcomings in code written in what was considered the previous. The newer the code is, the more likely it is to adhere to the current. Though fixing older code will bring it up to current practices. This page is an effort to list out how the code is organized. What the current conventions. Please n...

PythonCAD Checklist

http://www.pythoncad.org/checklist.html

This page is a placeholder for keeping a list of desired functionality and improvements to PythonCAD. If there is something that you think is missing in PythonCAD, or something doesn't work like you expect, take a look here and see if it is listed below. This page isn't meant to be a bug-tracking page; think of it more like a sounding board for enhancements to the program. Here are things that. PythonCAD can now print! The lack of angular dimensioning must be addressed, and improvements to the existing d...

PythonCAD Download Page

http://www.pythoncad.org/download.html

Each release is made as a compressed tar archive. For those wishing to participate in development, or if you just want the most current development code, there are two options, using git. For retrieving the code. The main PythonCAD repo was formerly kept in Subversion but now has switched to git, but the subversion repo still is kept current with whatever changes are applied to the git repository. A quick word or two about version number. The initial plan is to use a version numbering scheme like DS.

PythonCAD Project Status

http://www.pythoncad.org/status.html

PythonCAD One Year Report. PythonCAD was first publicly released on December 21, 2002, and after one year of development it is worthwhile to reflect on the status of the development efforts of the past year. The capabilities of the program have grown by leaps and bounds when comparing the eleventh release to the initial one. There are still some obvious shortcomings in the program, too. The saying. Rome was not built in a day. In addition to encouragement, a number of people have contributed patches and ...

PythonCAD Usage

http://www.pythoncad.org/usage.html

Usage Questions and Answers. A stated goal of the PythonCAD project is to produce an easy to use CAD package. Still, questions will arise as to how to do some certain operation in PythonCAD. This page will hopefully provide answers to these questions. Keep in mind that the program is in its earliest form, so an answer stating. That cannot be done as the code for doing that has not yet been written. How do I . Set the color/linetype/thickness/. of an object? Add a new linetype/style/dimstyle? Nearly all t...

PythonCAD Screen Shots

http://www.pythoncad.org/screenshots.html

Here are a few screen shots of what PythonCAD looks like. The left side of the window displays the various layers that are in the drawing, and the right side is the drawing area. The bottom area of the window is for entering commands when the program is more scriptable, as well as values for the drawing entities. In the initial release, there are only a few menus, and no toolbars. The number of menus will eventually increase, and probably a floating toolbar will be added. Having. Entities has now been ad...

PythonCAD File Format

http://www.pythoncad.org/fileformat.html

PythonCAD File Format Information. For storing files. As text files can get rather large, the files are compressed with the zlib module when they are being saved. This is the default behavior now, and there is no way to toggle on or off the compression. If such functionality is eventually called for, then the code will be changed to allow saving in uncompressed text. For now, though, the files are compressed. As the XML format is being maintained by W3C. With the use of either a DTD or a Schema. There is...

http://www.pythoncad.org/summary2.html

PythonCAD Year Two Report. PythonCAD was first publicly released on December 21, 2002, and after one year of development a summary. Of the developments over that time was written. Now that another year has gone by, it is time to reflect on the changes made during the second year of PythonCAD development. The list below contains a few of the high points from working on PythonCAD during the course of 2004. I am still enthusiastic on working on PythonCAD. I basically said the same thing last year, and o...
