Panorama

In November 2005 we published an article ‘Kaleidoscope’, accompanied by a DVD-ROM that included almost thirty programs relating to CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Given its success, we decided to repeat the exercise. Only this time round, for several different reasons, there’s no DVD with the magazine.

Please note

The Reader Offer for the free ‘Panorama’ e-CAD downloads is now expired. The DVD iso image and individual programs are no longer available from this website.

Most programs discussed in the ‘Panorama’ article (Elektor September 2008) can be obtained directly from the makers’ websites, which are listed below for your convenience.
