'''Euclid''' is a [[CAD]] [[software]] which was developed since 1980 by the French company [[Matra|Matra Datavision]], itself later acquired by [[Dassault Systèmes]], at which point support for the software stopped. Euclid was able for 2D and 3D modeling. 3D modeling was done with boolean operations.

Matra then developped EUCLID QUANTUM, a new generation in 1996, on the platfrom CAS.CADE (Computer Aided Software for Computer Aided Design and Engineering). As in 1998 Matra Datavision specialized in software service provider, [[Dassault Systèmes]] acquired QUANTUM products : Euclid Styler and Euclid Machinist.<ref>http://archives.lesechos.fr/archives/1998/LesEchos/17791-62-ECH.htm</ref>.

In 1999 Matra Datavision published CASCADE in open source on the Internet as [[Open CASCADE]]<ref>http://www.opencascade.org/about/profile/history/</ref>.

The [[Open CASCADE]] open-source geometry kernel emerged from the ashes of Euclid.

The [[BRL-CAD]] CAD software imports and exports to the EUCLID [[file format]].
