SYCODE Founder Publishes Book for CAD Software Developers
Panaji, India – 23rd May, 2009 - SYCODE today released a book titled “OpenCAD – A Step by Step Guide to Developing a Professional CAD Application” written by Deelip Menezes, its Founder and CEO, showcasing the technologies offered by the Open Design Alliance."I have been keeping a close eye on the ODA and its technologies for quite some time now", explains Deelip Menezes. “SYCODE is a Sustaining Member of the ODA and I have been writing about the issues surrounding the ODA on my blog at www.deelip.com. By means of this book I am taking it a step further by emphasizing the fact that the ODA is not only about reverse engineering the DWG file format. They offer far more than that.”
The book is written as a short story describing the evolution of a CAD application called OpenCAD. The reader starts with an empty Visual C++ project. In each chapter, the reader adds features to OpenCAD, first making it a DWG reader, then a viewer and finally an editor. Finally the reader ends up with a professional CAD application complete with an AutoCAD-like command prompt and plug-in architecture, thereby giving it the ability to be extended by means of DRX plug-ins.
The book is divided into two sections. Section 1 deals with creating the basic OpenCAD application, wiring it up with ODA libraries and adding features to make it a full blown professional 3D DWG viewer. Section 2 deals with adding a command prompt, plug-in architecture and developing a DRX plug-in that converts it into a DWG editor. The book can also be used as a primer for developing DRX plug-ins since the plug-ins developed for OpenCAD also work with any DWGdirect hosted application such as Bricscad V9.
The book comes with complete C++ source code and is available as a paperback book for $99 as well as a PDF eBook for $49.
