BabaCAD Enterprise - not just a CAD

BabaCAD Enterprise is extendable/scalable CAD platform which can be extended to be complete software solution for specific user's needs. How is this possible? BabaCAD is developed with modular software architecture. Earlier versions could be extended by programming .bem (BabaCAD extension modules) using C++ programming and BabaCAD API (BabaCAD extension library).
BabaCAD Enterprise now enable developers to use C# (or Visual Basic) as programming language and .NET framework with it's huge collection of predefined class libraries to extend BabaCAD with custom commands, functions or make some complex software solution based on BabaCAD platform.
Watch the video on the right, to see how we programmed custom command named 'GETGEODATA' to get boundary geometry of any country (country border) that we specify. Extension was programmed with C# and using basic .NET libraries like HttpClient (to connect to one of many free online web services; in our case web service for country boundaries). Code was written in just a few minutes and contains no more than ten lines of code. After C# project is compiled in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (or any other MS Visual Studio version with .NET 4+), .DLL module is copied to BabaCAD NetModules folder and BabaCAD loads it at the startup automatically.
