EWDraw is an ActiveX tool for both 3D and 2D visualisation and animation, suitable for applications such as CAD, CAM, and GIS. Built on the Open CASCADE geometric kernel v 5.2 and openGL, this powerful vector graphics software offers effective graphic design capabilities.
EWDRAW 1.0 Capabilities include a plethora of view manipulation tools, like Dynamic Zoom, Zoom In/Out, Zoom All/Window, Pan Dynamic, Pan Top/Bottom, Left/Right, Up/Down, Front/Back, etc. Users can create 2D primitives, including 2D bitmap, 2Dtext (useful for annotation), 2D/3D polyline, Line, Rectangle, Circle, Ellipse, Arc, Arc of ellipse, BSPline, Point, Polygon, Spiral and various 3D primitives like Box, Sphere, Cone, Cylinder, Torus, Wedge, and complex 3D shapes like Prism, Path, Revolve, meshes from BSPline (NURBS). Additionally, users can generate complex solids from arbitrary cross-sections using Loft.
EWDraw also supports object editing features like Move, Rotate (either through ArcBall interface or by angle specification), Scale, Mirror, Delete, Offset, Color, Line type, LINE width, Point style, Fillet 3DSolid, Chamerf 3DSolid, Draft 3DSolid, Transparency, and Covert geometry to face. Robust and efficient boolean operations on 3D solid meshes include Union, Intersect, and Subtract (Difference), while layers support functions like Layer on(off), Set current layer, Add layer, Delete layer, Get Layer, and Set layer color, linetype, linewidth.
EWDraw's Analysis function provides users with Length, Area, Volume and BoundingBox insight. The software supports importing files like .rle, .brep, .csfdb, .csf, .stp, .step, .iges, .igs, and exporting files to .rle, .brep, .csfdb, .csf, .stp, .step, .iges, .igs, .stl, .vrml, .bmp, and .gif.
All these features make EWDraw an excellent choice for vector graphics ActiveX software, providing users with a comprehensive solution for their 3D and 2D visualisation and animation needs.
