## Introduction
2019-08-29 08:47:40 +08:00
**Based on OpenSCAD 2019.05.** For old OpenSCAD versions, please use dotSCAD 1.3. You can download all versions from the [releases ](https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD/releases ).

OpenSCAD uses three library locations, the installation library, built-in library, and user defined libraries. It's convenient to set `OPENSCADPATH` . Check [Setting OPENSCADPATH ](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Libraries#Setting_OPENSCADPATH ) in [OpenSCAD User Manual/Libraries ](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Libraries ) for details.

Every module or function is located in the file which has the same name as the module or the function. For example, if you want to use the `line2d` module to draw a line, `use <line2d.scad>;` first.
2017-03-27 17:34:32 +08:00
2020-01-28 17:52:30 +08:00
use < line2d.scad > ;
2017-03-27 17:35:13 +08:00
2017-03-27 17:34:32 +08:00
line2d(p1 = [0, 0], p2 = [5, 0], width = 1);
2019-06-20 14:35:53 +08:00
Some module files are organized in a directory. For example, px_circle.scad exists in `pixel` directory. You have to prefix the directory name when including `px_circle` .
2020-01-28 17:52:30 +08:00
use < pixel / px_circle . scad > ;
2019-06-21 17:47:00 +08:00
points = px_circle(radius = 10);
2019-06-20 14:35:53 +08:00
for(pt = points) {
2019-06-20 18:33:22 +08:00
translate(pt) square(1);
2019-06-20 14:35:53 +08:00
}

## About dotSCAD
2017-03-30 14:46:10 +08:00
I've been using OpenSCAD for years and created some funny things. Some of them include several important ideas and details. To prevent forgetfulness, I decided to [write them down ](https://openhome.cc/eGossip/OpenSCAD/ ). Some examples developed in the documentation are useful so I elaborate them into this library.
The idea of the name dotSCAD comes from the filename extension ".scad" of OpenSCAD.
