Sailcut CAD 1.3.3

Design and visualize your own sail.
Sailcut CAD is a sail design and plotting software which allows you to design and visualise your own sail and compute the accurate development of all panels in flat sheets.

The original Sailcut was a Basic program developped by Robert Lain in 1978. The new version, called Sailcut CAD, is written in C++ and is developped jointly by Robert Lain and Jeremy Lain. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL).

Sailcut CAD is able to do cross cut, twist foot cut, vertical cut, mitre cut and radial cut sail design as well as wing sails, all in a number of languages.

It also includes a viewer where you can assembled a hull, a rig and a set of sails to see how they match. Sailcut CAD has been successfully used for making sails for racing and cruising yacht as well as for model boats.

Sailcut CAD is written in C++, using Qt as the graphics library. It has been compiled successfully on Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, and Windows platforms.

Added - saving sail in 3d DXF one panel per file, option DXF(split).

Added - saving developed sail in 2d DXF one panel per file, option DXF(split).

Added - print preview dialog for previewing text or drawing output.

Improved - make it possible to select which pages to print.

Added - Mitre2 layout with panels parallel to leech and foot (contribution from Peter Meuse).

Added - make it possible to export to one panel per DXF file.

Fixed - crash in rare case of perfectly straight luff or leech (indetermined intersection of lower and upper segments).

Fixed - crash in case SVG is not present on Linux system.
