Pythoncad as supporting 2D addon

[Yagnesh Desai]

Friends;

Taking the discussion on from the issue tracker :

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2808246&group_id=263167&atid=1128790

Few of us have idea of having pythoncad as 2D editor blender(or other 3D software)

My dream for PythonCAD is if there is 3D-CAD
which supports python scripting (like Blender) then:

1 Blender user should be able to open a PythonCAD from within
blender.

2 Create 2D drawing in PythonCAD. 

3 Once the 2D cadding is done user moves to blender by closing
pythoncad window.

4 Blender prompts for 3 points (origin, + 2points to defing the
plane).

5 Drawing created in PytonCAD is now imported in the user defined
plane.

We do have a developer on board who have worked on blender hope we can
make some progress here.

Any views are welcome, 

Thank you in advance 

Yagnesh Desai

Interesting suggestions on 3D, embedding, etc. -- but there is so much work to do just to make a decent 2D CAD tool!

 

Look at the feature request list on the Wiki:

 

http://morgul.no-ip.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=feature_requests

 

After basic 2D functionality is complete, it would be nice to have a better user-interface with toolbar, right-click menus and more information about what's happening being displayed.

 

AutoCAD has an old, poor user interface. I'd like to see a modern, well thought out UI, perhaps like Vectorworks.

 

What CAD packages have user interfaces that you admire?

Friends hold your horses. . .

(I wanted people to gear up for X'mas and plan some decent R38 alfa
release. deadlines do help)

Idea well taken.

I Agree that PythonCAD is not yet the bet 2D CAD tool. Not even near
to QCAD.

I am not telling make PythonCAD an AutoCAD look alike
Just few "similar" tools can be made available in PythonCAD so that
we can get more users who can look at it.

Now that we are at sourceforge we must now use issuetraker for
better focused development.

We can populate all the requests on Wiki to sourceforge and monitor
them well there.

We still use existing wiki hosted by our friend for current documentation
needs.

Subject: [PythonCAD] PythonCAD should remain focused on 2D until complete
