    4. Most examples are written by non-programmers. I have seen a couple of examples of object graph printout programs, instead of building up a list of lists or objects, these programs intertwine navigating through the tree with print indentation.

    That said, I just found this repo [1] which looks well written.

    On the other hand, CAD software is much more complicated than most systems I interact with. CAD platforms are one of the few remaining software systems that are written for experts. Experienced practioners are very productive [2]. So programming these systems will also be complicated.

    FWIW I'm trying to template a bunch of part imports and their layouts. I'm surprised that this isn't built into the system. You can edit variables for almost (almost) every input in the system, you can name variables and elevate them to file wide variables - all without touching programming. I wish importing was parameterized such that upon import I got a chance to edit the filewide variables as parameters in the new document.
