sounds good :-) The dimensioning is a mixture of all. Neither Hoops nor OC has something usable build-in for good dimensioning. The basic algorithm is home brewed. Basic algorithm means to calculate the dim extension lines, the dim line, the arrow locations and the text positions. Basic OC classes are used for this computation, this includes vectors, points, coordinate systems, algorithms for intersection and projection. Once all lines, texts and arrows are computed, Hoops is used to draw them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "phrostie" <pfrostie@xxxxxxxxx> To: <cad-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 15, 2003 10:21 PM Subject: [cad-linux] Re: modeling kernel > > thanks for the follow up. > > i'm still trying. > :-) > > is the dimensioning OC, Hoops, or home brewed? > > > @phostie: > > Hope you get tomcad running on your system.
