What's happened to VeeCAD?
Hi,
I'm setting up a new computer and went to download VeeCAD, only to find that the site times out. https://veecad.com Does anyone know if this is permanent? I didn't keep a backup of the installer and can't find one online. It's been opensourced and the source is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/veecad-2-further/ However it's written in Delphi and I no longer have a Delphi compiler. Does anyone know where a binary of the installer may be found? thanks Stewart |

Re: What's happened to VeeCAD?
Stewart: I'm a VeeCAD user and find it a very useful -- simple -- program for doing Vero board layouts.
I can't get any joy from the URL given in the program, veecad.com. I've got the installation files that I was sent when I bought a copy in April 2019, but I'd be slightly reluctant to send them to you without a definite statement from VeeCAD that they had stopped trading. The contact details on my receipt are- Roger LascellesSo maybe it would be worth a snailmail to that address? Richard |

Re: What's happened to VeeCAD?
If veecad.com doesn't reappear then the install/help/source files (V2.40.0.0) can be found on the Wayback Machine:-

I too purchased a license before it went open source. I'll try an email first and see if Roger is still contactable. cheers |

Re: What's happened to VeeCAD?
Never heard of this before! Very interesting. Is the schematic editor part of it?

There are / were tutorials and libraries for TinyCAD (free) but I use it with KiCAD. The aspect that takes me the most time is making sure the components are assigned the correct footprints. Hint - with two instances open copy / paste from the template veecad projects into your project is the quickest way. |
