Hi Folks,

My suggestion for an OpenCad format would be to look at vtk, since it is widespread in academic use and GPL Licensed. See here for a definition of the format:
http://www.vtk.org/pdf/file-formats.pdf

The company behind it is kitware.com and the Graphical UI is called Paraview. I might be worthwhile to include vtk in you comparison.

Take a look at the caelinux.com Distribution. It has the mentioned software and much more installed onto a LiveDVD ready to try.

Regards,
Dirk
