Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Graphiteone 3d modeller for Linux

I downloaded and installed this programme on Mandrake
a few years ago, and was really impressed with its
capabilities. There were a few issues, notably a
strange menu system and its 3d export and import were
a bit suspect, but I believe these are sorted now.
There was a REALLY good downloadable manual (unlike
the mega $ -pay-for-every-damn-thing cad systems that
seem to abound nowadays). Also, if you are able to
programme a bit in python, then you could re-hash it
to do pretty much anything. I put it aside then as I
really needed good 3d translators but maybe I must
look at it again... Also, it is free for private
usage, but there is a fee for commercial usage (on the
honor system)

Regards,

Brian
