Oh no! Autodesk (AutoCAD) is moving to close it's famous CAD file format, DWG. Hmmm... well, those who still using AutoCAD as their primary CAD tools won't be affected, but those who use other than AutoCAD will be affected, as most of them relies on Open Alliance for their reversed engineered OpenDWG format.
Being a private member of the Open Allience, I received a mail from the alliance concerning of Autodesk suing the alliance. I'm using the library for my project, and more or less is affected as well. The library is pretty much easy to use (although not quite as user friendly as one might think), and it ease my effort to implement CAD functions in my project. Hmm... I would wonder how long the suing effort will last...
