提案：GUI优先，受软件工程启发的文本化机械CAD
2 分•作者: thinkmachyx•6 个月前
大多数机械 CAD 工具（SolidWorks、Fusion、FreeCAD）仍然将所有建模锁定在不透明的二进制文件中。这使得跟踪更改、与 Git 协作或自动化构建变得困难。
我写了一个关于替代范式的提案：
* GUI 优先，像 KiCad 一样——可视化建模是默认设置
* 基于文本的源文件（YAML/JSON）——可读、可比对、对 Git 友好
* 源文件和结果分离——.step、.stl 和预览是构建产物
* 参数化逻辑是显式的——槽宽 = 凸片宽度 + 间隙
适用于 Git、CI 或脚本——不再受 PDM 锁定
该提案名为 SplitCAD，目前只是一个概念——不是一个可用的工具。但我很乐意听取任何对当前机械 CAD 的局限性感到沮丧的人的意见。

Most mechanical CAD tools (SolidWorks, Fusion, FreeCAD) still lock all modeling into opaque binary files. That makes it hard to track changes, collaborate with Git, or automate builds.<p>I’ve written a proposal for an alternative paradigm:<p>- GUI-first, like KiCad - visual modeling is the default<p>- Text-based source files (YAML/JSON) — readable, diffable, Git-friendly<p>- Separation of source and result - .step, .stl and previews are built artifacts<p>- Parametric logic is explicit - slot width = tab width + clearance<p>Works with Git, CI, or scripting — no more PDM lock-in
The proposal is called SplitCAD, and it's just a concept for now — not a working tool. But I’d love to hear from anyone frustrated by the limitations of current mechanical CAD.<p>GitHub: https://github.com/yuanxun-yx/SplitCAD
