Open Design Alliance and LEDAS Implement Parametric Drawing Tools Compatible with the DWG 2010 file format

Contains new support for NURBS curves, equal curvature geometric constraints, and memory management tools.

The Open Design Alliance (ODA) and LEDAS have announced the integration of version 3.0 of the LEDAS LGS 2D geometric constraint solver through the ongoing cooperation between the two organizations.

Version 3.0 of the LGS 2D geometric constraint solver is an upgrade of the initial integration with the ODA platform implemented in 2009 when the cooperation between the ODA and LEDAS began. Since last year, the constraint solver has been a component available to ODA members who require constraint support for their applications. Implementation of the constraint system, jointly developed by ODA and LEDAS, is fully compatible with the DWG 2010 file format.

Dmitry Ushakov, LEDAS Director of Product Management, will present the new version and its integration with the ODA platform at the ODA World Conference in Orlando, FL, May 4-5. The updated solution contains new support for NURBS curves, equal curvature geometric constraints, memory management tools, and other improvements. Ushakov will also present a demo application that can be used to evaluate parametric drawing technology and its compatibility with the DWG file format. Attendees of the ODA Technology Exchange will learn how they can embed parametric drawing technology into applications for different platforms.

 “The third-party component solution delivered by LEDAS has been a success for both the ODA and LEDAS—an active cooperation between development teams has ensured an efficient integration and robust solution,” says Arnold van der Weide, president of the ODA.

ODA members who have a license for the LEDAS LGS 2D geometric constraint solver can integrate the new 3.0 version to provide the enhanced support for parametric and constraint drawing to their applications.
