CompassCAD NEXT (stylized as CompassCAD NEXT), also known as Project Sova, is the official, spritual successor to the old CompassCAD Desktop. We are mostly rewriting CompassCAD from the ground up, but in a modern tech stack.
EXCLUSIVE: This version of CompassCAD will be the first version accessible for Mac users! Windows and Linux still get our support.
- Same, traditional CompassCAD engine and UX
- Lua-based plugin scripting (unlike older JS-based plugins)
- Redefined UI2
