2-D CAD/CAM

[Alan Horkan <horkana tcd ie>]

below is a response to a message on the Sodipodi list
As Dia is more design oriented than sodipodi i was surprised that he had
not even considered Dia

I was thinking maybe i will have time to produce more shapes soon.

I suspect there are groups we are not part of and keywords we dont manage
to hit.
Perhaps the Dia-Installer could join the Vector Graphics foundry to help
improve the interconnectedness of things?

Later
Alan

Dia is a Vector graphics diagramming tool, and it more intended for the
the kind of design purposes you mention than the kind of beautiful artwork
you can produce with Sodipodi.

I am surprised that you did not even consider it, did you not hear about
it or is it not appropriate?  Dia
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/

could you help me understand what your requiremetns are and i will
help see what bugs need to be filed against Dia

you did not expand these acronyms anywhere in your email or on the web
page so i need to make absolutely sure we are talking about the same thing
CAD     Computer Aided Design
CAM       "     "   Modelling ???

If Xcircuit intersts you perhaps Gael would also be of interest
http://gael.sourceforge.net/
(i would also mention Orengano but it is no longer well maintained
http://oregano.codefactory.se/ )

Please reply
probably best to just reply to me directly or to join the Dia list and ask
your questions there, dont want to be horribly offtopic on the Sodipodi
list.

Sincerely
Alan Horkan
