Design and Development of an Open CAD System

Yuanjun He, Niu Xiao-ming

Abstract

The Design idea of an open CAD System is introduced in this paper. The structure and functions of the system are proposed and the strategies of making the CAD integration, the application integration and the Windows integration are discussed. It is used as an interactive CAD system. Furthermore, the graphical development toolkit, mathematics function library and tool function library and so on in the application interface provided by the software can be used as the graphical developing tool for a CAD system. Based on this, An open 2D3D interactive CAD system named KerenCAD is created and has been used in industry and education.
