Good evening everyone,
It is from the bottom of my heart that I come to thank you all for all your encouragement and your expressions of welcome.
Indeed, CAD is a valuable tool for designing models which are inspired by existing models generally presented in a succinct manner, for example on the "https://www.pinterest.fr/ " site where the plans are not always geometrically consistent, probably to protect their authors.
Personally, I only use free CAD programs because I don't have a heavy use of them. I have other activities. For information, if it can be useful, I have :
for image processing : 'Inkscape "," GIMP ",
for 2D processing : "NanoCAD" which replaced "DoubleCAD", "LibreCAD" and an very old "MicroCADAM" that I kept from my activity more than 20 years ago and which served me until this year,
for 3D processing : "FreeCAD", "OpenSCAD" (programming), "DELFTship" and "Blender" which only serves me very exceptionally but which I keep anyway.
It's true, it takes time to learn how to use it, even when you are already a little confirmed. Otherwise, there are the pre-printed or die-cut kits.
I hope I can describe my projects. I will probably have some questions about how to build but that won't be until later.
Again a big thank you to all.
Best regards,
Jean-Pierre
