About

Siigna is a 2-dimensional collaborative CAD drawing, sketching, and layout application, designed for professionals and students in design, engineering, architecture, and planning. As well as the hobbyist. the thoughts behind siigna drive the development towards a working prototype of the drawing application and an online user based drawing library, a sort of "Wikipedia of drawings".

Status

Siigna is under development, approaching ver.10 BETA. This release marks the point where the software will be useful as a drawing tool. We expect to reach this milestone in July 2012, at which point Siigna can be loaded directly from [www.Siigna.com] in any webbrowser supporting Java. Currently work is being done to fix the last bugs in the base modules which are a basic set of drawing tools, and the Siigna Universe, a database for the drawings. The app currently available is an early stage prototype.

The motivation behind Siigna

Read more about Siigna in the article about the thoughts behind Siigna, and in the history of Siigna. If you're interested in customization or development of Siigna, please read more at the Siigna development page.

Architecture

Siigna is actually three things:

  1. Siigna main, a core that creates a framework for the drawing-procedures
  2. a collection of modules which uses these features to design the actual data to manipulate.
Siigna ships with a set of base modules. (Link to Base Modules wiki).
  1. the Siigna universe - a database (curretly under development) where users can store and share drawings.
The division into mainline and modules allows everyone to add or customize Siigna to behave just like they're used to, because the software is open-source. Siigna is also free, and is designed to be as lightweight as possible. The application can be found running in the browser at her website siigna.com.

API

The API of the mainline can be found at the Siigna homepage at siigna.com/api.
