Greetings; Giving up on the freebie qcad cuz its pure 2d, I looked around with google for something that supposedly could do 3d, and found brlcad.
I just unpacked the 70 some megabyte version 7.10.4 prebuilt x86-32 tarball & moved its base directory to someplace I can add to the $PATH, and ran it. Pretty primitive interface cuz its universal. Possibly prettyable if I tell it where x lives. However it apparently has its own file format, called a .g format. Or .gif, .jpeg and no doubt one or two other formats. Looking at a .g file, it appears to be a text format, but $00 filled into std sized data blocks. Has anyone ever used it for parts design? And if so, how did you convert .g stuff to gcode? Or am I barking up yet another wrong tree with no raccoons or bears in it? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
