ARRISCAD

ARRIS is the most highly customizable CAD software available. Sigmac source is available for the current version of ARRIS. Any customizations must be compiled on the same version of ARRIS in which they are run. The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers can read, redistribute, and modify the source code for a piece of software, the software evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. This rapid evolutionary process produces better software than the traditional closed model.
