GambasCAD is gone on github
Does anyone here know about GambasCAD?https://github.com/tercoide/GambasCAD/blob/main/.version
It was a very sophisticated CAD programme written in Gambas.
Unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared from GitHub now.
This despite the fact that there had been quite a few minor changes to the GitHub repository shortly before.
Also in the spanish forum I found no hint.
GauchoCAD vuelve a las pistas.
Does anyone here perhaps know anything about it?

I think I came over it one time in the beginning of my "UBUNTU" story :-)
Sorry to say that I can not contribute for this special project.
If it helps:
what I am using if there is the need for simple drawings:
LibreCAD (Link to Github Download)
My latest version:
Version: v2.2.1.5
Compiler: GNU GCC 11.4.0
Erstellt am: May 2 2026
Qt-Version: 5.15.2
Boost-Version: 1.74.0
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Yogi

How about: https://github.com/64sys/GauchoCAD

That ok for you?
It's from a Spanish guy. I guess the one from the Spanish forum.

Edit: GambasCAD = GauchoCAD –> https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=53704
It used to be GauchoCAD first, then GambasCAD but that is gone and only GauchoCAD remains. Last updated August 1st 2021
There is an e-mail to the author on the GauchoCAD github page

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I wasn’t actually looking for a CAD programme. It’s been a long time since I last had to work with one.
I just wanted to point out that this is a large Gambas project, and I’m always on the lookout for Gambas projects online.
Thank you very much for your tip about LibreCAD; I’ll have a look at it.
Thank you too for your reply.
I was also familiar with GauchoCAD, and I believe the two of them went on to work together.
Here’s a short translated extract from the Spanish forum.
"GauchoCAD began as an idea to create a little drawing program using Paint that would allow for on-screen design within my estu3D (a structural analysis program), which is 100% parametric. When Tincho joined the team—with his solid background in CAD and his impressive GUIs—we became ambitious, and the synergy was very motivating. And the little program—COVID and all—has grown to over 100 files. And now I’d dare say that GauchoCAD is on its way to becoming “the” open-source CAD program for Linux."
I’ve got a zip file from this year that isn’t quite up to date – I think it’s about a month old or so.
I wanted to upload it to my cloud, but disroot.org is having problems with its servers.
If anyone’s interested, I can upload it here as well; the zip file is 3.2 MB. Then you can see for yourselves.
I just think it’s such a shame that such an ambitious project has simply disappeared from GitHub. I’d hoped it had just moved or changed its name, and that someone here might know.
Thank you all.

It’s not exactly easy to understand and, unfortunately, it has a few bugs, but here it is.
