Friends;

I have tried the python cad and am surprised with the
functionalities of it. It seems to be in very good
direction.

Is there a documentation project for the pythoncad. . ?

I also wanted to know the direction the pythoncad would take
for the future . . . ie will there be 3D objects
incorporated
in it or any .dwg and .dgn support

There are basic functions available in it while I miss the
Snapping
part a lot.

I am trying my hands at python while no books are available
in my
city I am depending on the online resources. I am a bit used
to VB
and earlier used FORTRAN.

Can anyone tell what part would be of much help in pythoncad
project.

Thanks.

No, and the lack of documentation is a longstanding problem
I would love to see addressed.

This question was touched upon in another mailing, but the
short answer is PythonCAD will be 2-D for a while still, and
I'd like to get DWG support into the program.

The Python homepage will be of great use to you as the site
contains
sample code, FAQ, links to other Python sites, etc.

Documentation would be great, especially a users guide.
Somewhere
I have some tutorial docs that I was mailed and I would like
to post
them on the website. Documenting the various classes/methods
available
in the program would be beneficial to developers.
