CAD tools for Blender-3D
Intro:
CADtools is a CAD extension for Blender-3D (a free open source 3D-content creation suite, available for all major operating systems).
CADtools can be useful for:
- architects
- engineers
- scientists
- inventors
- designers
-
- professionals
- hobbyists
- students
- teachers
-
-
- precise 2d drawing
- precise 3d modeling
- 3d-reconstruction
- scientific visualization
- physical simulation
- data analysis
on:
- Linux
- Mac OS
- Windows
- Solaris
- FreeBSD

CADtools script is work in progress, though many parts can be used for production already. At the moment it supports only Blender 2.49b.
To run in full-feature-mode CADtools needs Blender-2.49b-CAD-edition.
Some parts of the project are ported to newer Blender versions, for example there are DWG/DXF-importer and DWG/DXF-exporter, which work up to Blender 2.92.
Features:
version 0.68alpha for Blender 2.49b:

Roadmap:
CADtools' development will focus on Blender 2.49b a while. Porting to newer Blender version will start as soon as the new python-API offers needed functionality. Unfortunately it is still not the case (2018.06.05).
The long term goal is to rewrite the code to C/C++ and integrate into Blender under GPL-license. I will open the source code as soon as i get refunded my investments. I hope that the subscription model will help to manage this plan in reasonable time.
