Hi Fred,

Thanks for the long explanation for Vector.

<< Slice - Vector - 3D-Cut above Z. The coordinate axis is portable
in Vector. You can move it or rotate it anywhere in 3D.>>

You mean using the xy plane as a cutting plane?


<< Union/Subtract - Vector - I cannot define these in less than a
paragraph, as they are routines, not functions. One interesting
feature, is that Vector can make a single offset curve from two or
more overlapping contours. It offsets the Union of the multiple
contours>>

Meaning I can construct two/more contours, make an offset curve with
offset distance=0 and get a "union" of the two/more contours?

<<Because many people want to be able to cut complex 3D objects, we
developed
StlWork.>>

On a scale of 0-10, 0=hopeless, how would you rate Stlwork and
Deskproto on
a. features
b. ease of use
c. learning curve

<<Here is my current list alphabetically: ...Bcad...Intellicad...>>

Bcad=BobCAD? When can you arrange another USD15 offer for BobCAD???
&/or StlWorks

Intellicad? The free or painful (pocketwise) version? The last time I
looked at the free version, it can't do Union, subtract, etc.

Thanks again.

Peter
