For instance the picuture underneath was way to dark and I had to modify it to be able to engrave it into plexiglass. Photoshop offers users the ability to create, enhance, or otherwise edit images, artwork, and illustrations.

Adobe PhotoshopДЄdobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor for use on Windows or MaOS. Since the traces were way to thin I had to increase the stoke. To do this I had to select Image Trace -> Black and White Logo, which converts the object itselft into paths. For instance below I wanted cut out a beer mug with the vinyl cutter. I often use it to create a design for the vinyl cutter. It is used to create a variety of digital and printed images.

Adobe IllustratorДЄdobe Illustrator is a software application for creating drawings, illustrations, and artwork using a Windows or MacOS computer. Here you can also set the size and the font.ДЄlthough LibreCAD and Rhino are very similar, I personally like the Rhino interface better. To write something or engrave something select the text tool. Next just select the lines you want to assign to the outside layer. To create a layer you have to go to the layer tab. Then join the lines again and be certain that evry line is closed. To be on the safe side explode the lines by selecting everything and typing in explode or select the explode tool in the toolbar. When you import a file into Rhino, always make sure you have only closed lines. Unfortunately Rhino doesn't support parametric design. The design underneath shows a box I designed to hold an engraved picture in plexiglass. We often use Rhino in the FabLab to generate the GCODE for the laser cutter or CNC machine because you can create different types of layers. It also has a toolbar on the left and a command line on the top such as LibreCAD.

Rhinoceros is a commercial 3D computer graphics and computer-aided design application software or Windows, Apple and Linux. It was a nice experience to try a different kind of software, but it would have been easier for me to develop it in Fusion 360. I used LibreCAD to design a photo puzzle using the spline and line tool. For this reason it is a lot easier if you work with the command line. This means every time you want to attach another line to an already drawed line you have zoom in to check where the line ends. Moreover LibraCAD doesn't show the end of a drawed line. Therefore I started to use the command line, so I wouldn't have to move around the drawing area to select the spots. I mostly lost track of my design and had to zoom in and zoom out to find it.

The first time I worked with LibreCAD I didn't like it, because it was really hard to move around with the mac mouse. On the right side of the drawing area you have the command line. In the top you can find the Menu and on left side there is the tool bar. LibreCad has an interactive user interface.

LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD (free computer-aided design) application for Windows, Apple and Linux.

Moreover the goal was to model a possible final project.

Join the LibreCAD forum for further discussions.For this week's assignment we had to evaluate different kind of computer-adided design software.

There are several ways you can help LibreCAD besides coding. They are also looking for someone to help deploy an AppImage for Linux. You can help the development by downloading and testing this version and reporting any bugs you may find. It is expected that it presents a better performance while opening DWG files, although a few issues are still expected until the final 2.2.0 is released.ДЄs any open source project, LibreCAD benefits a lot from the community feedback.

This release brings a series of bug fixes regarding the reading of DWG files. This is the second release candidate for LibreCAD 2.2.0, and it comes after more than 280 commits since the first one. For more information, you can check this previous post where we discussed 2D CAD file formats in the open source context. The main file format used by the software is DXF, which has a better interoperability. One thing to keep in mind is that LibreCAD can open DWG files but cannot write them. You can also visit their forum to ask questions and search for answers. If you are new to LibreCAD you can start by reading their documentation, which offers a good amount of information to understand the software and start working with it. It has all the basic features you would expect from a 2D drafting tool, and it is suitable for development of architectural drawings such as plans, sections and elevations. LibreCAD is an open source 2D CAD application with a mature development that works in Linux, Windows and macOS. Another exciting news for the users of Open Source 2D CAD softwares! LibreCAD has a new release candidate for the version 2.2.0.
