Fork from LC2 especially for CNC-programmers

see https://github.com/DietmarK/LC2DK
some key points:
- ordinate dimensions
- move absolute zero
- snap intersection manually
- smaller grid steps 1-2-5
- 9 new select functions
- draw arc tangential to endpoint
- switchable native file dialog
- some keyboard shortcuts
- widened dialog boxes (output-lines for CNC prog.)
- old qcad-icons
- styleFactor added for better showing non-solid lines when zooming extrem
  (try "grep -rn --exclude=\*[^hp]  '[sS]tyleFactor' " on linux)
- a total rewritten snapper, mostly user-configurable
- some plugins as helper for CNC programming
- 2 "bugfixes" for currently unfixed bugs in LC2
  (trim2 on arcs, and snap intersection circle-circle)

details see file "readme", and "grep -rn '++++++' . "

the CAM code is currently undocumented, i will do it in future....

Hi,

since I'm also interested in CNC-features: Can you tell me, why you
forked LibreCAD instead of modifying LibreCAD itself?

> - old qcad-icons
Have you already drawn the icons? In the git-repository, I only found
the new (green) LibreCAD-icons, and no old QCad-icons.

Since I also don't like the new icons, I started to redraw the old icons
in Inkscape some time ago:

I would prefer if we combine our efforts in recreating the old QCad-icons,
and don't make the work twice.

Hallo rk-list,
in answer to your first question: see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3605674&group_id=342582&atid=1433844

> - old qcad-icons:
a year ago i converted the old qcad-icons from *.xpm to *.png. They are in directory "librecad/res__old_qcad". "librecad/res" is a symlink, you can switch between LC2 icons and qcad-icons, but you have to recompile.
If we want to switch icons in LibreCAD.conf, we have to do much work: see "liesmich-iconpath".
Missing icons for new LC2-funcs i copied from "librecad/res__lc2_original".
Some days before i tried to create icons for my new functions. They shows not very good.
I would be delighted to see your icons, and probably i will merge them in LC2DK.

Do you speak german?
