Hi there,

I am currently writing an open-source electronic CAD
package. I would like to include functionality for 2D
parametric drawing; the same thing you get in packages
like Solid Works etc.

So, I'm looking for open-source libraries to help me.
Do you think CGAL would be a suitable library for this?

The sort of functions (from a user's point of view) are:
creating straight lines and arcs, and defining constraints
between them (parallel, perpendicular, distance etc). Then
the lines would automatically move to enforce those
constraints. The user would also be allowed to change those
constraints, and see the lines move into the correct new
positions.


Does CGAL have any such functions, or do you know of any
other libraries out there which have this functionality?

Many thanks for your time

Hugo Elias
