Having used it for some time, my impression is that Blender is a 3d modeler
which is very much focussed on rendering, while other aspects of 3d design
are weak (e.g. keeping control over measurement - no quotation lines).

Thanks to Mario for the link. I'll have to try MEDUSA in the next few
days. From the documentation, it looks like it may be like BRLCAD and
require a copy of ProE for the coversion (hopefully not), but we'll have
to wait see unless someone already knows for sure.
I'm glad to see a decision

Interesting. I checked on BRLCAD's website
Converting Geometry Between BRL-CAD and other Formats, Page 17

and it seems Pro/E import is actually quite solid. However you need a

I don't think ProE by itself is suitable, especially since you need a

Your list includes DXF, that was the preference before.
I am concerned that the export process will corrupt the file and we

Hi Community,
Can't remember if I told you this or not, but OpenMoko has decided to
make available the CAD files detailing the NEO case.
I'm pretty sure the format will be .dxf files. To my limited
understanding of CAD, this seems pretty universal and easy to convert to
the other formats.
Yes, you did say they were going to try and make CAD files available.
I'm happy to hear further confirmation back so soon. Hopefully it won't
take too much longer to get the files. DXF files should also be fine.
I know of several free editors that can import these natively or with a
plugin

Other phones make their owners angry.
I also suggest Alibre Express, although it is for Windows and it's not FOSS,
but I was involved in much of the writing of it, so I enjoy seeing it being
used.
Blender would work great for this application, although it's not a
parametric solid modeler. I'll have to give it a spin.
