Category: Image/Data Editing Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Szymon Dowkontt (szydowk) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Support to external sketch editors? Initial Comment: Hello It could be good to add possibility to BRL-CAD to use external 2D CAD programs as sketch editor. Something like script that will replace sketch command (or will be new command like "extsketch") . Possible usage example: 1. The script ask for name of a sketch, if not selected exiting one, create empty new. 2. The script save sketch and convert it to temporary 2D dxf file. 3. The script take control (freeze BRL-CAD) and run external editor with temporary dxf file as parameter (possible other parameters configurable). 4. The script wait to end of work of external editor. 5. After external editor end its work, the script convert temporary file to sketch and replace original sketch in database with new one. 6. The script clean up temporary files and return control to BRL-CAD (unfreeze). There are some very good 2D CAD systems, that could be used (QCAD, LibreCAD and others). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=640805&aid=3601239&group_id=105292 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
