Hi Yangnesh,
Did you look at the schema?
The collada schema only supports a subset of the geometric entities
PythonCAD support.
I PythonCAD was a full 3D CAD program you had a point but I don't see the
use for a 2D CAD program.
You can never make PythonCAD read or write a collada file without
significant loss of data.
I think this is not in line with the original principles of PythonCAD:
* a 2D CAD program
* fully programmed in python.
Are there any common file formats for 2D CAD files besides dxf?
Regards,
Gertwin

Friends;
Pythoncad uses xml based format to save the file
now this is Non-Standard format (ie not based on
any of the published standard) and cannot
be opened by any other softwares.
I came across this Collada format
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COLLADA
while looking at Google Sketchup.
(There must be something in this format
as google sketchup is supporting it out of box . . !)
If we migrate to (or support) something like such
a format we might make pythoncad more utilizable.
There are host of softwares supporting this format.
