    Features gCAD3D

    gCAD3D has
          its own import/export programs,
          an integrated 3D-OpenGL-Viewer,
          a program interpreter for geometry NC commands in 3D,
          its own integrated numerical control processor
          a program interface for user programs (Plugins)

    The programinterpreter provides functions for -
          creation of geometrical objects
          NC-working, direct and programcontrolled
          preparation of data (building contours ..)
          analysis of data
          display of 2D-drawings, 2D-models, pictures (bitmaps)
          all objects can be connected with interactions
          programmingfunctions

    The creation of geometrical elements / NC-programs can be done by -
          interactively generated geometrical objects or
          manually generated command texts or by
          import modules (Dxf, Iges, Step ..) or by
          data file created by external program or by
          special import processors (user programs)

    Interactions connect to geometric objects can -
          load models (like HTML - HREF)
          activate userprograms (plugins)
          modify the view
          modify modelparameters dynamically

    The data can be exported from the program by -
          export modules ((Dxf, Iges, Vrml, Svg ..)
          Standard - ISO - post processor
          specialized export functions (user programs)
          the system format APT3D (ASCII text format)

    The program interface makes possible -
          The creation and analysis of geometry Objects
          interactive dialogue functions (selections..)
          automatic compiling, link and reload at execution time
