Nov 3, 2014 - Most of the technical books I read on working with operating systems. Available from: No Starch Press, Amazon and other bookstores. Linux ($500), MATE ($250), LibreCAD ($250), BleachBit ($350), cherrytree ($260),.
Hi everyone I'm Paolo, and I want to show you, some models that I made with Blender. I use Blender, as amateur, for several years, to model in 3D. But in recent years I abandoned Windwos, changing to Linux. And with the change of operating system, and began my troubles, in fact CADs programs for Linux are very insufficient for various reasons, which I will not explain, so I started to look for a solution, and I knowing very well Blender (I am a big fan) I took on my challenge, towards Linux CAD; and after many trials and experiments, I found my way to create CAD drawings with free software. Now I use Blender to model in 3D with extreme precision, LibreCAD for CAD drawings, and finally FreeShip for converting my models from Blender in IGES format (NURBS).
I'll try to draw other hulls and post here, hoping that someone will find useful this workflow. Below some screenshot. Some helpful videos Hello and thank you for your interest, you can change the colors, manually or use the preset in the themes section, which can be reached from the drop-down menu at the top left. Blender is a bit confusing at first, but for those who use it for a long time as I, it was the most natural thing to use. I have started to make boats with Blender, (Viko20) to demonstrate, to a friend of mine, he used SketchUp, you could be accurate, even with Blender, and so it began this study.
And here some tutorials made with Blender. I'am sorry for the bad English Examples of CSG modelling with Blender Drawing made in Blender These days I'll do some hulls and I will share the models in this post.
See you soon and sorry for English.
Fxr3102, If you want to play with 2DÂ CAD, I recommend. This is, and it is not likely to pulled off the market any time soon. Draftsight is being provided so that SolidWorks users can access and support their old AutoCAD drawings. When this requirement goes away, I would expect support for Draftsight to disappear.
On LibreCAD, you click on one corner of your rectangle, then you hit the spacebar, making the keyboard active. LibreCAD behaves like AutoCAD. Typed in coordinates are absolute. If you precede them with a ' (???), the coordinates are relative to your present position. JHG RE: learning draftsight (Mechanical) 26 Sep 14 12:54. Before AutoCAD had a Windows interface, I learned it using the book 'Inside AutoCAD', step by step.
There is probably something more current available at B&N, and certainly at Amazon. ISTR that relative coordinates in AutoCAD use '@' as a prefix: rectangle (XY coord of corner)? LMB for current or 0,0 for origin, or absolute coordinates as X,Y pair of numbers. (XY coord of other corner)? LMB for current of @2,1 to say relative 2,1. I think Draftsight works similarly. Old versions of AutoCAD didn't have a rectangle command, so you had to enter four points, one at a time.
@0,-1 or just 'c' for close. Or something like that. Newish versions of AutoCAD, and Draftsight, have 'grips' that allow you to LMB on a line of an existing rectangle and stretch it. Grip editing is kind of glitchy on my old slow computers. There's much more. Mike Halloran Pembroke Pines, FL, USA RE: learning draftsight (Mechanical) 26 Sep 14 13:45.
I find Draftsight to be the best AutoCAD replacement and it's just as FREE as LibreCAD. I tested a slew of supposed AutoCAD replacements and only Draftsight could successfully load our old custom fonts and correctly handle xref drawing blocks. And while some of our sites use SaladWorks, I don't. I doubt that Dassault is going to pull Draftsight off the market any time soon and who cares if they do?
As long as you have the download you can run it. Like any CAD software, you have to learn the interface. There are a zillion YouTube videos that will teach everything from the basic to the complex. The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn't included in this version of Windows. RE: learning draftsight (Mechanical) 30 Sep 14 15:45.
