Such as, the Draw module of OpenOffice.org makes it possible to make technical drawing. CADOO.o adds some functions that one can find in other CAD.
For example:
* a wider set of anchor with the graphic entities (ends, intersection, middle, perpendicular, tangent) ;
* input of absolute or relative coordinates Cartesian or polar ;
* input of the radius, diameters or lengths ;
* an axonometric mode to constrain to horizontal, vertical, 45° direction ;
* draw a circle passing by three points ;
* dimension of radius, diameter, angle, horizontaly or verticaly.
Note: drawing line, circle, arc, ellipse, arc of ellipse, polygon already exist but they were rewritten to benefit from the modes above without replacing the originals.
This Addon was written in python with use of the module pyuno.
The name "CADOO.o" was proposed by Patrick GIMBERTEAU whom I thank.

CADOOo and errors
This program has a fantastic potential for Draw.
(In OOo 3.1, the default Python version is now 2.6
You might want to look for errors in your program with this Python version. )
Last time I tried, it installed successfully but when I try to use it, it crashed.
And these functions would be much better if they were native in Draw.
Please rewrite it in C/C++ and contribute to the OOo code base.
This would improve things a lot.
CADOO.o and errors
I tried it in Windows XP PRO sp3 and Linux Debian lenny environnments and it worked.
Can you tell more about the circumstancies of the crash. Normally after a crash CADOO.o shows a message box with usefull informations for debugging.
Installation problem
I finally got CADOO to install, but I still cannot get CADOO to work (OO 3.1), but I did discover that it has a conflict with the add-on "writer tools" for what it is worth.

Re: Installation problem
CADOO.o is only active when you select a command from CADOO.o menu.
It is designed to work only with Draw whereas "writer tool's" works with writer (i don't really know "writer tool's but its name).
Can you tell me more about this conflict you discovered.
installation problem
I had the same problem and couldn't install CADOO.o. The installer hung up, and I had to reboot the computer.
CADOO.o 1.1.0
Won't install on OpenOffice.org 3.1.0, Windows XP SP3.
Simply hangs up OpenOffice while attempting to install, so that it's necesary to shut down OpenOffice
CADOO.o installation
As you can read in release notes, the extension manager launch numerous uno.exe tasks. This can overload the computer memory.
My tests on Windows XP sp3 show that closing OpenOffice.org and the quickstart after having installed CADOO.o permit to use normally the extension.
