21:16.49hussamI'm downloading BRLCAD source code. I was wondering how hard is it to learn this program if I already know AutoCAD?
21:19.15louipcit's quite different. are you comfortable drawing via commands in autocad?
21:24.20hussamlouipc. yes
21:24.30louipcyou can't be a complete point-and-click type person
21:24.41louipchussam: then I think it would be OK for you
21:24.50hussamok great.
21:25.21louipcthe commands are different though
21:26.09hussamIf there's good documentation, I can learn easily.
21:27.05hussamI used AutoCAD in university but I was looking for a good program to make drawings and print them at home on my Linux box.
21:28.10Z80-Boyhussam: unfortunately the documentation is often omitting crucial details
21:28.37Z80-Boyhussam: BRL-CAD cannot make drawings. qcad can.
21:29.16*** join/#brlcad Elperion (n=Bary@p548750CA.dip.t-dialin.net)
21:29.37louipcyeah BRL-CAD isn't really for drafting yet
21:29.59louipcit's good for making 3D models
21:43.20hussamZ80-Boy,  louipc: I've tried qcad a few years ago. I don't remember having a good experience with it.
21:43.58*** join/#brlcad Elperion (n=Bary@p548748B2.dip.t-dialin.net)
21:45.54louipcyeah it's unfortunate hah
21:50.24hussamI just stumbled onto this while searching on google http://www.opencascade.org/_popup/727/
21:51.04hussamthere seems to be a a Linux version too
21:52.23louipcyeah I've heard about it. I haven't tried it yet though
21:54.48hussamlouipc, it's 183MB so it'll take a while to download. I'm getting an average of 25Kbytes/sec
21:55.46hussambut I'll install BRLCAD as well

22:43.58CIA-4BRL-CAD: 03johnranderson * 10brlcad/src/librt/wdb_obj.c: Previous commit checked for null prior to call to adjust_names(), moved the null check into adjust_names().
