Opening

This function imports OCA/GCAD files. The OCA file format is community effort to create a free, simple and open CAD file format. OCA is largely based on the GCAD file format generated from gCAD3D. Both formats can be imported in FreeCAD, and the OCA files exported by FreeCAD can be opened in gCAD3D. The following OCA objects get imported at the moment:

  • Lines
  • Arcs and Circles
  • Closed areas

Exporting
