#OpenCAD vs #OpenSCAD vs maybe #LibreCAD
The main task set being perfecting the designs of mostly large (4ft long by 2 ft wide & bigger) wood furniture pieces.
A main design parameter set being strength, for both weight carrying & nonflexing ability, so I'll likely be fidgeting with the thicknesses of the boards a great deal within this.
I don't really need this program to automatically generate cut lists for me, but I do need it to give me at least a reasonably fast way to get a cubic footage of the material needed & similarly to know the exterior dimensions so it'll actually fit... (especially important for the pool which isnt likely to be a very simple shape).
First to check on video tutorials-- as I already have on draw which makes me doubt it's capable of this. CAD & SCAD I've now checked some & both definitely seem capable of doing this but so far CAD seems easier to do it with.
Second to check on written instructions on them
--- again I've read draw - hence my doubts, even as for my later set of projects- origami crease patterns & clothing making- it might work well. Reading on both again, they both seem capable but CAD just seems like it'll be easier.Third to actually get the program(s) & see how they may or may not work for this.

My son was given an angle, side, and side and asked to find the third side of the triangle if it exists (or if it's two solutions, what are they).
so I fired up #librecad, showed him the construction, with a circle at the end of the first side of length equal to the second side, and asked him if it could intersect the third side at the given angle... it immediately became obvious to him that there was no solution, in a way that having his calculator give a complex number for the arcsin didn't -
@opensourceguiden Hvis man bare skal skitsere noget i 2D med målsætning, så kan #librecad anbefales. Ellers vil jeg gå med #freecad som Ole foreslår :o) -

Hallelujah! AutoCAD's DWG is a closed format that Linux CAD apps can't properly read. Well, there's apparently now a freeware Linux utility, ODA File Converter, that allows you to convert from DWG to DXF. Get the .appimage from here: https://www.opendesign.com/guestfiles/oda_file_converter
LibreCAD and other Linux apps I tested can now read these common files fine as DXF! A great solution for my brother too, who I recently converted to Linux too.

I don't understand why #QCad is not very popular in the Linux community. It has a free, GPL version that is way more put together than LibreCAD. In fact, LibreCAD is a fork of QCad from the late 2000s. QCad has way more features now, and most are free.
Sure, there's FreeCAD too, but that's more about 3D CAD, and it's more difficult to learn & use. QCad is a good starter 2D Cad/Cam, especially if you're coming from #AutoCAD 's UI.

@AasaMariaHedberg Kanske titta på #LibreCAD eller #FreeCAD, då kan du åtminstone anlita nån att ta betalt för sin tid att skapa dina verktyg och tillbehör. De kapitalistiska efterfrågans-/utbudsbaserade attributen lär vara i topp på de app-plattformar som tar en så sjukt hög ockeravgift som inte är i relation till arbetsinsatsen. Då får du barnarbete och sjukt låga löner på köpet även om försäljningspriset inte avslöjar det.

I do miss Visio's automatic mapping of SNMP devices, even if it was flaky.#linux #visio #foss #networking #computer #homelab #ubuntu #librecad
-
Can anyone suggest a #linux alternative to #visio that is #foss and includes or can download #networking and #computer objects? ?
I'd like to work on a visual representation of my #homelab configuration. I have Visio for Windows but I'd like to work in my #ubuntu setup.
I found #librecad but I can't find any blocks or networking objects to download for it.

LibreCAD, being a fork of QCAD 2.0.5 Community Edition, for a long time had only a Points-based Grid.
Now there are settings to fully customize the Grid look:
1) with Points type its possible to set Metagrid to Continious line type (or other).
2) with Lines type its possible to fully customize both, main Grid and Metagrid line types.Also, its possible to customize the look of Axis Lines and extend them infinitely.

LibreCAD latest CI builds now includes corresponding startup splash image according to version you are launching.
Also, old basic "About" dialog now replaced with a new one, which includes a splash image too (that is too large, really).
So, I proposed to use a half of a splash image as a banner image in a new "About" dialog, and diverse its look for ALPHA, BETA, RC and RELEASE releases: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/issues/1913

Latest LibreCAD `2.2.2_alpha` build now supports the inline calculation in "Cmd" ("Command") widget. Its available via the next command:
`cal {formula}`
OR
`cal: {formula}`
(previously calculator mode was a separate sub-mode in "Command" widget)

N.B. Line-based grid is a new #LibreCAD feature (default grid is dot-based). To reset LibreCAD grid:
In "Application Preferences > Appearance" set:
Background: Black
Grid Color: Gray
Metagrid Color: #404040In "Current Drawing Preferences" set:
[check] Show Grid
[uncheck] Extend axis lines
Grid type: PointsFor comparison, as LibreCAD originally is a fork of QCAD Community Edition, here is a #QCAD screenshot with its actual default grids (point-based main grid with line-based metagrid).

For those who are looking for 2D CAD editor I think that #LibreCAD is a decent choice, the new versions are now quite good, and open #DXF files well, and you can create 2D #technical #drawings without particular difficulties, it is an acceptable solution in many contexts. #opensource #linux https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/releases

@maxcoutard
I use #darktable for image processing, #gimp for advanced image manipulation, and #digikam for image library management.
For precision technical drawings use #freecad or #librecad for 2D drafting,. for viewing ebooks its #calibre.
For video I use #shotcut and 3d animation use #blender .
Look into #saxon for XML management using XSLT. we are getting more geeky as we go here 🙂
PDFs can be dealt with using #pdftk -
@koehntopp Für einfache 2D-Zeichnungen, die aber maßstäblich exakt sein sollen, genügt vielleicht sogar #LibreCAD. Das verwendet das bekannte Zeichnungsaustauschformat DXF.
https://librecad.org/Für ernsthaftere Sachen dann #BricsCAD.

todays project has been to get a working understanding of #freecad. I've been drafting in #librecad but my drawings have gotten complex enough that I need to take the time to learn freecad.:
I've used #openscad a lot, #blender, #gimp, #inkscape, #kcad, #libreoffice, #darktable and #shotcut ; I don't have a girlfriend or family so I have time, can you tell:-)but I haven't done precise work with real working drawings. its the next step towards 3d printing and real cad work.

If you need to open and edit #DXF or a #DWG files with #Linux you can't do without #LibreCAD, an #opensource #2D #CAD made by volunteers who continue to improve this application, there have been various problems over the years but development has now resumed with constant updates

I use the Professional version of the #OpenSource #QCAD #CAD software, which is amazing 🌈🦄
The free version is fine for #GardenDesign.
https://www.qcad.org/en/qcad-downloads-trialThe Professional version has more features & is only £40. This is £2,610 cheaper than the industry standard #Vectorworks 😳
https://www.qcad.org/en/online-shopThere is also a really thorough #QCAD book as well:
