Arcad is a CAAD program for two-dimensional and three-dimensional architectural drawings . The program is designed for architects , civil engineers and urban planners . It is up to the user whether he draws the drawing traditionally in 2D or models it in 3D and then creates the 2D drawings required for construction.
technology
The program is written in ANSI C with the help of the OpenMotif GUI toolkit and should therefore run very quickly and independently of the distribution used.
All programs from the system house use the same database, so the programs should work very collaboratively.
history
According to its own statements, the company has been developing on Linux since 1996 and is said to have presented the first CAD program and AVA system for Linux at the ACS trade fair in Wiesbaden . This was followed by further development. A campus version was released in 1998 and Arcad became 64-bit capable in 2004.
