What you need to write about YontaCAD. Everything on this page may be used without asking.
In one paragraph
YontaCAD is a free, open-source, offline-first parametric CAD for Windows, macOS and Linux. It models with sketches, features, parts, assemblies and drawings, saves to an open file format, and can be driven entirely from Python. There are no accounts, no telemetry and no paid tier; it asks nothing of anyone; the maintainer covers its costs. It was founded in 2026, is maintained independently by Arif Kalem, and is licensed under the LGPL-2.1-or-later.

Logo files
SVG files, to be copied unmodified. Use the lockup on light grounds and the reverse lockup on dark blue grounds; the mark alone when the name is already nearby; the one-colour files for print, engraving and laser marking. The mark is one drawing and is only scaled; the smallest recommended size is 24 px.

Copy the files as they are. Do not redraw, recolour, stretch, rotate or animate the mark, and do not put it inside another frame or simplify it. Keep clear space of a quarter of the mark's diameter around it. The logo files are not licensed under the LGPL; they may be copied and redistributed unmodified.

Using the name and the logo
The name YontaCAD and the YontaCAD logo are the project's unregistered trademarks, held by the maintainer. The code is licensed under the LGPL; the name and the logo are not. You may, without asking, use the name and the unmodified logo to refer to the project, link to it, and make tutorials, courses, reviews and news about it. Modified versions (forks) may not use the name "YontaCAD" or the logo; they may say they are "based on YontaCAD". Not allowed: use that suggests an official release, endorsement or affiliation; a changed, recoloured or redrawn logo; collecting money under the YontaCAD name. The full policy is TRADEMARK.md in the repository.
Writing the name
Always YontaCAD: one word, capital Y and CAD. The logo's wordmark sets "yonta" in lower case; that is artwork, not a spelling. In text, always YontaCAD.
