Welcome to the PythonCAD documentation wiki
What is PythonCAD
From the PythonCAD website:
PythonCAD is a CAD package written, surprisingly enough, in Python. The PythonCAD project aims to produce a scriptable, open-source, easy to use CAD package for Linux, the various flavors of BSD Unix, commercial Unix, and other platforms to which someone who is interested ports the program. Work began on PythonCAD in July, 2002, and the first public release was on December 21, 2002.
What is this wiki for
At this moment, the PythonCAD project lacks a good documentation. The goal of this wiki is the creation of a complete documentation that helps users and developers of the software.
Note that this wiki has an rss feed. You can use it to get to know when some information is added or updated.
Latest features added to the wiki
On 29.03.07 I have upgraded dokuwiki to version 20061106. This upgrade has affected the log of 'recent changes', so that some entries show a note as if they had been 'restored to previous version'. However, no contents have been changed.
A system for user registration and authentication has been activated. The goal of this system is not restricting access to the wiki, but to acknowledge the work of the contributors. Nonetheless, you can edit the wiki as an anonymous user, if you wish.
Please, feel free to edit the pages or to add new ones.
A system to write localised versions of the documentation has been also implemented. If you want to contribute to the wiki in your own language, read the guidelines for translations in the wiki development page.
If you have any questions or proposals about this wiki you can write them in the wiki development page.
Latest release of PythonCAD
Since May 12th 2007, the current version of PythonCAD is release 36. According to the PythonCAD website, these are the main changes:
This release is primarily a bug-fix release. Several bugs regarding user preference storage were fixed, as were a number of drawing and entity selection bugs. PythonCAD users on Windows will now have their preferences stored in a PythonCAD subdirectory in the APPDATA environment defined directory.
