i tried out 4.2 many years ago. it was fun to play with but at the time there was no 2d editor for detailing/dimensioning parts. i'm not sure if this has changed or not. they are on 5.x or 6.0 now i think. ask them if one has been added. brl-cad was originally intended for suvivablity studies. neat stuff but not what most people are looking for. --- Ernie Schroder <schroder@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi All, > A few times I've come across an application called > BRL-Cad.
