There is no license anywhere in the program for which it can be used, so it is useless.

Very useful project!

This project is off to a good start! It has a number of "first-time" errors, including some that prevent it from starting if it is installed. The "stop polyline" needs some real attention. So do other aspects. HOWEVER - it is a good start from which one can build a decent 2D Computer Aided Drafting software program. If the original Author would contact me I would like to discuss furthering the program. norseman@hughes.net

AutoCAD is the only thing making me stick to windows. I suggest you ought to try and emulate the look and feel of AutoCAD. It will help users migrate more easily to your platform. Good luck
