Hallo people,
i am new on this list.
Since 10 years i worked with qcad. Some days ago i tried librecad, and
now it is my working platform.
By profession i'm a CNC programmer for milling machines.

The "list entities" -plugin give me the idea of writing my own plugins,
usable like a simple CAM.
The first experiment write lines for milling contours, and the second
creates bore hole patterns.

See https://github.com/DietmarK/librecad for more details. The code is
not professional, but it works for me.
The generated CNC-code is for Heidenhain-NC. It can be modified for
other NC's, such as G-code.

For a better work with librecad i added some modifications to the code,
see readme-librecad-modified-sources.
Try it out!

I hope it is helpful.

Dietmar
