Thomas, I would be interested in testing tomCAD out. I just installed RedHat 8 on a system for this. As soon as you have something for it, I would like to install it. I tried the current version last night and got the same error as phrostie and marrandy got. I am an autocad 2000 user, but use Ashlar-Vellum Graphite at work. I do mechanical drawings of tooling and manufactured parts every day. I do know a bit of python and am looking forward to a system that lets me script with it. CAM is a very important thing for me also. Thanks, Dan Thomas Schmidt wrote: > Hi, > > No problem, I appreciate every feedback, no matter what kind of.
