[cad-linux] Re: Open-source Parametric software for Architects

What is an AEC package ?

I am currently working on a highly modulized Naval Architecture design 
system.  Should be general enough (via plugins) to use with any 
engineering displine.

it the GtkCAD project at sourceforge.  It is under active development 
as a thesis in Ocean Engineering.  What for the IP lawyers to give the 
OK before releasing code.

cheers,
Jim Parker
