Introduction


















This is the sequence of the first CAD page in Portugal dedicated to CAD (Computer Aided Design). Initially it was located in the ISQ server and then in Tripod.com and now in QualiCAD.com, with the advantage of not having any commercial adds. This page pretends to be a reference to all interested in CAD. The ideas and coments expressed in this page are of my own exclusive responsability and don't express other people or entities' opinion.
