[Qgis-developer] Make QGIS interact with LibreCAD.

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi all,

I personally would prefer two plugins, one with CAD-like functions 
(constructing, snap to middle of line etc.) and one with more GIS-like 
editing functions (clip, fill holes and the like). If you look at the 
current CAD-Tools plugin it is already pretty crowded but we are talking 
about at least the double amount of functions.
Implementing the plugins in Python could create more support in 
programming from the community (I have no idea about performance, though).
