?? Wow. I use QCad a lot, so I've climbed the considerable learning curve, but designing a kitchen is something where I would definitely choose QCad over pcb. pcb is great for... pcbs... who'da thunk it? But if I'm doing something that is going to be fab'ed in my wood shop on a CNC tool, QCad is a better fit. I admit that QCad's UI takes some work to learn, but fundamentally it is very well done and once you learn a few tricks you can really fly with it. All that said, QCad is a 2D tool, and for architectural design a 3D tool is going to be better, assuming it is complete enough. -dave > > Levente > > > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user > _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
