Programming doesn't have to be writing text. :P Everyone seems to be thinking about APIs to the CAD program, which solidworks, autodesk, and presumably others provide. I had in mind a pretty deep way to embed a lambda calculus into the visual interface. The hope was to make it intuitive to create powerful parametric models, where every sketch is a function of different parameters. We never implemented that part, though. :/
