Development

QCAD is built to be extended, and this section shows how to tailor it to your own needs through scripting and plugins. The tutorials cover experimenting interactively in the Script Shell, running procedural scripts from a file, writing command line tools that leverage QCAD functionality, building interactive script actions that add menus and handle user input, and extending the application with compiled C/C++ plugins. Whether you want to automate repetitive tasks or add entirely new features, these guides provide a starting point.
