VeCAD is a 2D/3D vector graphics library. It can be used as a multi-purpose
drafting tool or as a base for your own specialized drawing applications
(CAD/GIS). The library is realized as both a run-time Windows 32 bit DLL
and an OCX (ActiveX control). Either can be used with applications written in the popular Visual
IDE languages such as Visual Basic, Delphi, C++ Builder and Visual C++.
The VeCAD package also includes a powerful CAD editor in executable
form, based entirely on the VeCAD engine. Use this application to visualize
your own project's possibilities!
Main Features:
Supports AutoCAD DWG and DXF drawings formats by using
OpenDWG technology.
Native VEC format for drawings. Drawings can also be saved
as raster images.
Graphic objects include Points, Lines, Sub-classed Polylines, Circles,
Arcs, Ellipses, Rectangles, Text, Block Insertions, Dimensions and Raster
Images. All objects can use the 3D coordinate system.
Supports plug-in filters to open raster image in various formats.
VeCAD ships with an open-source plug-in that supports the GIF, JPEG,
and TIFF formats. On our website you can download additional plug-ins
that let you to open in VeCAD an images of the following formats:
PNG, GIF, PCX, ICO, WMF, EMF, J2K, JBG, MNG and also
ER Mapper
Compressed Wavelet (ECW) images.
A unique identifier for each drawing object facilitates external
database referencing.
Access to all the properties of any object, either programmatically
or via dialogs.
Zoom capabilities allowing you to view the entire drawing
or any desired part of it.
Mouse Wheel supports real-time Zoom and Pan.
Print Preview.
Draw in Model space and/or Paper space.
Edit operations include Copy, Move, Rotate, Scale, Mirror, Explode,
Erase, Join, Trim, Extend. Single objects can be edited by moving their
control points (grips).
Various snap modes allow you to draw/edit objects accurately without tedious calculations.
Snapping modes use ID markers to enhance operator speed and vision.
Superior Polar Tracking capability.
Event-driven mechanism permits control of an application
at the user interface level.
Interface commands can be assigned directly to an application's menus,
buttons and accelerator keys.
Supports Windows TTF fonts and AutoCAD SHP/SHX fonts.
Supports AutoCAD hatch patterns (PAT) and linetypes (LIN).
Clipboard copy and paste.
Undo-Redo buffer saves 100 commands.
An accessory Command Window facilitates keyboard-driven command
lines, introducing a potential macro interface for the application programmer.
