Mashing up CAD design and software dependency management is something I hadn’t considered, and I’m liking it. Many CAD projects might be described as “derivative works” that embed/extend other works (mold design, wiring, AEC, and the general mechanical assembly). Most CAD apps have “component libraries” but even the best of them are lacking and there is precious little interoperability between them.

I miss my days working on CAD and this is renewing my excitement for it a bit.
