    Porting a Large Scale Non-Qt Legacy CAD Application to Qt/QML: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    Abstract: Over the last 3 years, we have been working on porting our large legacy CAD software (Alias) to using Qt/QML for UI. We had been using an in-house developed UI framework for the last 30+ years and it was time to upgrade to something more modern to empower our designers and take pressure off of our developers to make them more productive with easier and more intuitive tools. Because of the state of our application, we have taken an all-in approach where we disabled the UI for our CAD software and began building everything bit by bit. During this project, we not only refactored and changed the technology we use for our UI but also the way we work within our team across disciplines.
