Lx-Viewer
can open and view an AutoCad drawing (in model space) created up
to A2k. After viewing the drawing you can save it to a DWG or DXF file (any
version 2.5 to 2000), plus you can write a snap shot of it as a BMP or XPM
file. While viewing there is pan and zoom (in, out, extents, center, window,
and previous) capability plus you can set the view direction in 3D space
using a dynamic dialog box. Also included is a rudimentary help system. The
program will search for and load X-REFS and AutoCad SHX files to display speci
al fonts (at least it works with the Big Fonts I have on my system).
Future Items: (in the order I plan to work on them) :
1) I want to get a web home page up at Source Forge for the Viewer.
2) I want to incorporate the new icons into the tool bars, plus I
want to implement the 3D hot keys for standard views. I also would like to be
able to toggle from paper space views to model space views (and back again).
3) I then want to revise the program as necessary to use the OD libraries.
Viewer currently uses the 2.005 OD libraries which are several
versions behind. This should bring the program up to date with the latest
from Open Drawing.

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.http://www.pythoncad.org/
