I'm guessing this is for hardcore codeliners who do CAD- not my cup of tea. PythodCAD confused the hell out of me- no buttons for anything, and it was freezing too, I believe, though not like qCAD (this one's harder to diagonose). I have 2.2 GB of free space left, and 1 GB of RAM- what I was seeing shouldn't happen- it would freeze (and my entire laptop with it!), and after 30 or so seconds, unfreeze- I got to draw a few rectangles this way, but constantly freezing mid selection, and made it impossible to draw anything other than random spaced, random sized things uncontrollably. Point of thread- I found qCAD & PythonCAD, and tried qCAD first- I liked the interface I saw, and really tried to use this, but it kept freezing/crashing on me! I ran the updater, rebooted, same stuff. I ended up filling & deleting for proper width lines. (8.04 U) Now I heard all kinds of good about Gimp, and maybe I just don't get it yet, but let's just leave it at this- it wasn't intuitive at all for me, quite frustrating. YOU TUBE QCAD HOW TOIn the meantime, I ran into a project that had me doing actual manual (ie: pencil & paper with a stupid ruler on non-flat surfaces, rather annoying & unprecise) drafting of sorts, and after fooling around in Gimp for HOURS trying to teach myself from scratch how to draw simple lines and proportional circles/etc (big *** failure, I got there eventually, but am not sure what I did or how to repeat it quickly), I gave up and started searching for a simple 2D CAD program in the repos. It's been a while since I posted, and I remember posting in the past about good parametric CAD for linux, and got mixed answers.
