I am looking for a CAD library that I can use for closed-source application.
So regarding QCAD Libraries Professional I have a few questions.
1. Does you product support both DWG, DXF?
2. Does it also support SHP file format?
3. Can 1 developer license deploy many products?
4. Could I use it in C#? (using interop. or etc.)
Thank you in advance,
Jake

Re: Technical Inquiries
Yes, if QCAD is compiled with the Teigha libraries (opendesign.com). If you are planning to extend / modify QCAD using C++, you will most likely need a Teigha license in addition to the QCAD Developer license. If you only extend / modify QCAD through its scripting interface, no QCAD Developer or Teigha licenses are required but your end users will need a valid QCAD user license.DynamicScope wrote:1.

No, not at this point.DynamicScope wrote:2. Does it also support SHP file format?
Yes (for some Teigha licenses, restrictions apply).DynamicScope wrote:3. Can 1 developer license deploy many products?
At RibbonSoft, we elusively develop using cross platform technologies, so I couldn't answer that. The recommended way to extend QCAD in any way is through its very complete and powerful ECMAScript (JavaScript) interface.DynamicScope wrote:4. Could I use it in C#? (using interop. or etc.)

More Questions
Thank you for the replay.
I would like to ask a couple more questions.
Similar to the AutoCAD ARX
1. Does it have command line (command window)? Just like AutoCAD?
2. Can I make a custom command?
Just wanted to make sure.
Thank you in advance,

Re: More Questions
Yes and no. It does have a command line, but it is certainly not as complete as the one from Autocad. In QCAD, working with the command line is usually not necessary (use the faster key codes instead). It is possible to start all tools from the command line and to enter absolute and relative Cartesian and polar coordinates. It is also possible to create tools that react to command line input but the tools that are available do not use this for anything other than coordinate input.DynamicScope wrote:1.

Yes, you can create new custom, interactive tools using the QCAD 3 scripting interface.DynamicScope wrote:2. Can I make a custom command?

ObjectARX Support Issue
Sorry I have one more question.
I am wondering if LiteCAD can be integrated with ObjectARX (AutoCAD).
If so, up to what version of ObjectARX can be supported?
