Excerpts:
The library can now read most R13-R2018 DWG files and write R2000 DWG files.
LibreCAD and FreeCAD are free to switch now, but they got the OpenDWG Teigha library already with a trick, and Teigha is still better than LibreDWG.

Two weeks ago, he made the second public release of the library (v0.6) featuring bugfixes, API changes, GNU Parallel support, basic support for more types of objects, and the parsing of ACIS version 2 (3D data).
No it's not, because it's still licensed under GPLv3+ which is a complete no-go for FreeCAD.
But for sure better than using a proprietary software. In addition this no-gpl politic is big nonsense. This was a problem once, but not anymore. Simple go with gpl and keep the core lgpl. No Idea who profits from lgpl, the open-source-project for sure does not.NirmandC wrote:No it's not, because it's still licensed under GPLv3+ which is a complete no-go for FreeCAD.
LibreDWG revived!

creating some python bindings?So, who's gonna give a try at coding it?
Obviously you have no clue about the issues the FreeCAD project's had with the GPLv3+. It infects everything. It has only caused aggravation with packaging for Debian. There is a very good reason why it was decided not to ever allow inclusion of GPLv3+ code in FreeCAD. This reason still stands.
As far as I know it was because occt had a incompatible license. But in the meantime this has changed to lgpl, or not?NormandC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 30, 2018 5:00 pm Obviously you have no clue about the issues the FreeCAD project's had with the GPLv3+.
