![]() ![]() So we have to draw the pattern always new from zero because we cannot scale the mother-pattern from e.g. The difficulty comes with the differnt wools and tensions that produce different big meshs (cells). It is no difficulty to draw a pattern, build a block and multi-copy it into the garment. Patterns rough said are a block of black and white cells in a distinct adjustment. We have standard patterns and create new patterns. We would need TWO factors: One factor for "X" and one factor for "Y". Just miss one thing: with command "scale" you can scale entities with ONE factor in "X" and "Y" dimension. I have checked LibreCAD the recent days and found it has generally the ability to do all the needed steps. So I searched for a free solution and found LibreCAD. I plan with autocad, but autocad is too expensive for all the group members. I am a machine knitter and am member of a machine knitting group at Yahoo! I plan all my garments with CAD and want to introduce LibreCAD as CAD-Software to the group. I have a problem because I miss (or do not find) a command in LibreCAD. Well, I've worked through the 2D tutorial and then exported the drawing as a 2D View into a DXF file (AutoCAD 2007).First thanks for all the activities and the knowhow you put into this project! I saw your videos on YouTube, I saw your manual and I see the discussion and all your work here. I then opened the file in LibreCAD and have discovered numerous unexpected issues. Claudio Guarnieri: 3 June 2014 (spline tutorial part 1). An incomplete list follows:ġ) In SolveSpace, I draw in inches. someone entirely new to LibreCAD and CAD in general can learn to use it. ![]() The DXF file in LibreCAD has "None" as the Main drawing unit under Options\Current Drawing Preferences\Units. This is an interim release of the of the LibreCAD User Manual and is subject to change. Selecting "inch" does not change the result noted in #3 below.Ģ) The SolveSpace created DXF file in LibreCAD has 4 layers "0", "dimensions", "s001-#def-active-grp", and "text". The manual is based on LibreCAD v2.2.0-rc1 with a few additions. If you are using another version of LibreCAD, your mileage may vary. LibreCAD is a free 2D computer-aided design application. There was no text in the SolveSpace drawing. LibreCAD is filled with features to tailor your design projects. The first lines of any technical drawing are the construction lines, setting out the locations of all lines without specifying any line types, colours, etc. If I deactivate any one of the 4 layers, the whole drawing blanks.ģ) In LibreCAD I am able to click on points to determine dimensions but only in the command window and the actual dimension is close to, but not exactly in millimeters, for what was drawn in SolveSpace.Ĥ) In LibreCAD the drawing is not oriented to the origin as it was in SolveSpace. All straight construction lines are of 'infinite' length i.e. they extend off the screen in both directions. Create a new Construction layer by clicking the ' ' sign in the Layer list. The notes and questions for LibreCAD tutorial 9 pt 1 - Hatching and Hatch 'Gotchas' part 1. In fact, when I save the file in SolveSpace a green text message displays with a " " indicating that was where the export thought the origin was - which is not where it was.ĥ) In LibreCAD I cannot select a line segment, only the whole outline as I designed it in SolveSpace.Ħ) In LibreCAD I cannot change the color of a line or line object that was exported from SolveSpace.īottom line, I feel there is are problems with the 2D file save as DXF option from SolveSpace. It assumes that you have installed LibreCAD and have opened it to a new default blank drawing. have been prepared according to the Design Softwares exam syllabus. I would be happy to volunteer tester if effort is being expended to fix the issues.
