RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] More on CAD

Hi Chris

Any idea where I can download this 2.01 version? Sensiva.com only shows a
later version that's a "try 30 days" then buy it program. Sounds like a
program simple enough I might be able to learn it. Did a yahoo search;
found it and downloaded it but it's apparently in German. :(

ZDnet doesn't list it.

Sensiva (sensiva.com) was always a freeware that allowed you to tmake a
movement
with a mouse, Like a >slide to the left< in a defined or predefined shape,
(while holding down the right mouse button), any tool/view command.

Common uses are "slide right" to call up Zoom Tool, "slide left" for
Previous
View, "slide diagnally down to the left " Extent View.

I use a corner shape slide to trim, another to call up the offset command
etc. I
even use one to flip back and forth between "View Page" or not !
A slide can be assigned a whole series of key combinations and even system
commands. You can even have it type stuff for you !

I love it. But, some of the newer versions did not work quite as bug free. I
am
currently using 2.01. If you would ever like to get my pre-programmed
commands
(they refer to it as a plug-in) for Sketch, just holler. You could convert
it to
Q-Cad easily.

Currently, I am searching out "Button Based" macro methods.......... you
create
button bars with your own icons to do what ever commands you want. I found
one
that will even attach itself TO an application. So, if you ever get a
software
with a lousy unconfigurable toolbar you can make your own. Jury is still
out.............
