Well, after working many years with AutoCad, and after trying some vertical CADs for timber drawing/CAM, I've seen that in this area there are just junk apps sold for high prices.
Besides AutoCad which is, like my coworker say, just a pen which help to draw lines but has no concept of post processing / CNC (at least, in my field), all other apps I've tested are really poorly coded and/or just slowing my job.
So... I decided to start a CAD application aimed at Timber construction, based on OpenCascade framework and U++.
It'll be not open source, but I'll open as usual some parts of code which can be useful for the community.
Here the first screenshot, just some 3-4 days of work on it, already contains command handling, partial objects selection, partial point input with dragging and is, of course, multi document / multi view enabled.
Ciao

Hi Koldo,
if you want to give it a try (still VERY preliminary, but some commands working....) you can grab it from here :
www.timberstruct.it/UppCad
Compiled for Linux 64 bit only.
I'd like to have some feedback
Commands working are line-xline for costruction, move-copy-mirror-erase for editing and the view and shading commands for display. To rotate the view, keep pressed ctrl+shift and middle-drag with mouse over window.
To start, just create a new empty drawing with top-left toolbar item.
If you want to see a 3d object, there's a command (manual by command line) "bottle" which construct a fancy 3d bottle, which you can then move/copy everywhere.
Selection can be done for single objects clicking on them, or by window/crossing clicking on an empty point and dragging a selection rectangle (left for crossing and right for window).
It still have some delays on repainting (if objects don't get immediately repainted, just move mouse or pan the window, by now).
I have to stabilize the framework, then I'll add all needed features.
Save and load work, and also undo-redo commands (those by now just on command line, no menu).
Ciao
Max
EDIT : fixed repaint glitches and other small stuffs

If I load any model and choose copy and then click on any model's line to select first midpoint after next click uppcad is getting unresponsive to the point I have to terminate it.
PS: Toolbar's move indicator looks a little bit old-fashioned

A picture of UppCad loaded with a real-life file.... a wooden bridge that will be put on site on this month, originally drawin with AutoCad and imported in UppCad :
The file is quite large, and became even larger from double conversion needed to import in UppCad. Loading time is (debug mode, quite slow) about 2 minutes with rendering time (about double than native autocad) but handling (zooming/panning/rotating) is 3-4 time faster.
Notice that ALL constuction details are there, comprising holes in beams, still parts, etc.
I'll put a demo version on next days here, for people interested in testing.
I'm also thinking of some sort of partnership to follow development and market it.... involved work is becoming important.
Ciao
