new: CALSCRIPT - scripting tool and GeomCAL replacement
Hello,
a new powerful tool ist available which brings AutoCAD's GeomCAL functionality to BricsCAD and adds a powerful scripting tool. Download archtools.de/calscript.zip to get a free copy.
CALSCRIPT can execute any traditional script, and adds parametric design thru scripts. Indeed only three simple declarations in a traditional script make the drawing from the script partametrically editable. Even user input is possible in a running script. And for programmers: a script can be translated to a Lisp function which can be used in any other Lisp application.
Drawings which are created by a CALSCRIPT script can be given away and the receiver can edit the parameters even when he does not have the original script.
CALSCRIPT is still in beta version, more functionality will be added, ie. a batch script tool to run any number of scripts over many dwg files.
CALSCRIPT will be available as a free license, a personal license and a source code license. The only restriction of the free license is that it expires at the end of each year and need to be renewed. The personal license is available at little cost only on a per seat basis and never expires. The source code license allows you to use CALSCRIPT on all your computers in your company, and to distribute CALSCRIPT as a part of your compiled Lisp applications.
No special installation ist necessary. Just load CALSCRIPT.des into BricsCAD. For a quick start just open the sample dwg files and load the script files with the BricsCAD SCRIPT command.
