Archer is the next iteration of BRL-CAD's MGED model editing tool. We are currently in the process of migrating functionality from MGED to Archer. MGED currently provides a minimal sketch editor that is used to create and edit BRL-CAD's sketch primitive. | Archer is the next iteration of BRL-CAD's MGED model editing tool.

Archer also needs the ability to create and edit sketches. This project would entail examination of the existing sketch editor in MGED and ensuring a new sketch editing component in Archer enabled all the functionality of the old editor. Just "porting" the existing sketch editor to Archer would be no more than a first step - the editing experience and usability should also be enhanced. | Archer also needs the ability to create and edit sketches.

and how its functionality might be integrated into Archer for sketch editing (and other features in the future, modular design is a good direction to go). | and how its functionality might be integrated into Archer for sketch editing (and other features in the future, modular design is a good direction to go). | ||
