If you're after the source code to a commercial CAD system, head over to
www.intellicad.org and you can download the source to Visio Intellicad 2000,
for non-commercial use. Its compatible with AutoCAD 14.

Its not an OpenGL application, but it might make an interesting project to
change the rendering routines. It does contain load of mathematical
routines, and is an illustration of a Visual C++ MFC GUI for a CAD program,
although it doesn't particularly agree with my old STB Velocity 128 card,
esp when rubberbanding.

Worth a look though...
