Have you tried FreeCAD's Sketcher workbench? I think it fits your requirements. The only thing I'm not sure about are your import/export requirements.

The point is for runtime. At build time generally the latest available version is used (via a symlink) and then that version gets locked in to the resulting binary.

It's not the ATM. It's the KYC requirement. Note that in the case of a regular bank ATM the bank knows who you are. It's false to equate this to Bitcoin. Bitcoin ATMs aren't illegal; anonymous ATMs are.

In accounting terms, you might consider the stake to have been bought for 25 billion at the time, but now it's being considered worthless (or maybe even a liability) by BP, so something of no (dollar) value is being given to Russia. Th
