CADTOOLS========What is it?-----------cadtools is an open-source 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing(CAM) toolkit. Its main component is a parametric, feature-based, solidmodeler which comprises a generic solver for systems of geometricalconstraints. Eventually, we hope the solver will become sufficiently robustto handle rigid-body simulation over arbitrarily complex mechanical assemblies.A major advantage cadtools will have over commercial CAD packages, besidesportability, will be extendability and an open, well-documented API.cadtools requires the Agar toolkit (http://libagar.org/).cadtools is still in early development phase. Most of critical code beingwritten for cadtools (such as geometric constraint solving) is actually beingimplemented into the Agar-SG library.Documentation-------------This package includes API documentation in the form of manual pages. Youcan also read the manual pages online or download the pages in HTML orprintable format from the cadtools website.Availability------------You can download the most recent cadtools version from the cadtools home pageathttp://hypertriton.com/catools/.Portability-----------cadtools is portable to all platforms supported by Agar. This includes,notably, Linux, IRIX, MacOS Classic, MacOS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,Windows, and even some game consoles.
