The new mailing list is up, and seems to work, and there is a link from the PythonCAD home page to the mailing list page, so things are active. I'm hoping to make the next release of PythonCAD by the end of the month. The sixth release had lots of changes in it, and unfortunately some of the changes induced breakage that I did not see before making the release. I've fixed up what I broke, at least some what, and have moved on. Here are a few things that development release seven will have: * Fixed moving arcs and angled construction lines * Reworked object splitting - new code is much clearer and a little faster it seems * File format changes - store text strings instead of integer values for units, font style and font weight * Tool for adding construction lines at some offset from an existing construction line. * ....

I've just added some code in that makes it easy to draw a construction line parallel to another construction line at a given distance away. The code has been added into the subversion repository, and sent to the mirror, so you should be able to get it and see how it works. I've started looking at adding the ability to draw tangent construction circles against construction lines. Doing this against a single construction line will be done first, as that is relatively easy to do. Drawing construction circles against two construction lines, or a construction line and circle, or two construction circles will be looked at next. These are a little more involved it seems...

I've added the ability to draw a construction circle that is tangent to a construction line or another construction circle. The drawing of construction circles that are tangent to two construction lines, or a construction line and construction circle is the next challenge. This code has been sent to the repo for those of you who are using Subversion.

PythonCAD now handles drawing tangent circles between an existing construction circle and a construction line, or two construction lines. Also I've added the ability to draw tangent construction lines between two construction circles. These routines can still use some more polish, but they work. I've uploaded the code to the public repository. I was trying to get a release done tomorrow, but it looks like the next release will be in the first week of June. I'm looking at adding work contributed to PythonCAD by David Broadwell so that the entry box is used more to invoke drawing operations. I have to try and learn a little bit more about handling widget focus so that this stuff works nicely.

Thanks to the work of David Broadwell, PythonCAD now has its first implementation of a command interpreter. The commands are stored in the file 'keywords.py'; I'll add some documentation on the website giving the available commands shortly. A simple example to try is type 'hcl', and you'll be set to draw horizontal construction lines. After adding a few, hit the Escape key so that you'll see the 'Enter Command' prompt above the entry box at the bottom of the screen. Hitting Escape should now stop whatever you are doing and returning you to the point where you can select a drawing operation of some type. The code is up on the mirror, so give it a run. Now that the first version of the interpreter has been added, I'll be making a release most likely this weekend. I have a few more tweaks I want to add.
