Start Code

A µcad program consists of one or multiple files.

Additional files can be added by the mod statement or by adding library paths of external modules with command line options.

Currently¹, every µcad program starts with the original input file that was given at running microcad.

The top level code within this file is where microcad starts processing top to bottom.

// 1. Start code begins here.
use std::geo2d::*;

// 2. This is a module definition. It defines 'RADIUS' but doesn't generate any geometry.
mod my_inner {
    pub const RADIUS = 10mm;
}

// 3. Start code continues here.
Circle(radius = my_inner::RADIUS);

1. In future µcad will get a package management and will have projects and toml files. ↩
