SteamCAD2
SteamCAD2 is an evolution of SteamCAD, a 2D CAD especially designed to draw steam
locomotives.
What's new in SteamCAD2
SteamCAD was a first version of a 2D CAD versatile enough to draw an arbitrary black
and white techical drawing. The aim of SteamCAD2 is to fix some issues and also add
new functionality. These are namely:
- the whole core was completely rebuilt to improve the rendering speed
- creating paths consisting of one or more segments, this is especially usefull when
rendering patterned lines
- added abilities to control line join shapes and dash endings
- the MS Windows rendering was changed from GDI to GDI+, thus giving Windows users
nearly the same experience like the Linux users
- the previous point allowed to use the internal backend dash line rendering, which
will improve the performance and also the postprocessing in export formats
- the lines can have an arbitrary colour in SteamCAD2
- filled areas can be created
- raster images can be imported and registered for the drawing
- spline editing capability added
SteamCAD2 is 2D CAD especially designed to draw steam locomotives like this example:
