Ries, thank you for your quick response.
I have version 1.0.ORC1 Compiled on Jun 16 2011, in Windows.
My version does not have the measure polygon option in the Info menu. Have I perhaps downloaded an older version?
That's correct, I noticed it was missing, but you should have the area button in the measure
menu on the left.
OK, I managed to load the .png background image and I can draw on top of it. My problem now is to calibrate the image to the right size so that the map that I draw on top of it has the correct scale. Is it possible to scale the image?
Hmm... it seems like that the handles are missing from the image, for easy re-scale.
You can, however select the image, and when selected use the modify->scale menu entry to rescale.
I will see if I can make this easer....
Another question: Is it possible to import a CSV file with coordinates of points?
Pretty soon we will,
we are adding support for plugins and this allow us to add features to LibreCAD,
One of the feature that we have is importing of lines, circles from simple text files.
You can call me anytime to test your new installer. Just remind me with an email.
Great!
This is really an exciting and unselfish project and will open doors for many people.
Yes,
I hope that aswell. The currently product is pretty stable with some areas we are ironing out
in the next couple of release candidates. Then we will release the project as 'stable.
CAD programs are so expensive that nobody but professionals can afford it.
I am a part-time lecturer at Central University of Technology- teaching Agricultural Engineering, and you cannot imagine what gift you are giving to those students. Thank you!!
Your Welcome,
I am glad this is used to the best!
