There's a sketcher now. Is that what you mean? It's a little=20
limited, but we were just discussing today how it wouldn't be too=20
difficult to add functionality for using an external drafting program=20
as a sketcher. Insert discussions about uber-converter, cddf, etc.=20
here. First step might be a simple change to the tcl menu scripts=20
and then a conversion of the sketch data to dxf, launch qcad, convert=20
back to .g and load the sketch back in from a tempfile.
I haven't looked at it yet, but a perl binding for the .g format might=20
not be too difficult given Inline::C, etc.
