I'm 1/4 German, 3/4 Irish.  Lots of pain on the Irish side.  But a good group of people, like all people.

Anyways, I have a request for you.  Ask one of your developers if the  Qt5 QJsonArray object will work with a LibreCAD 2.2 plugin.  I believe it will.  That QJson object became available with Qt5.10.  LibreCAD is 5.12 I believe.  You mentioned the release number in your last post.

I'm getting ready to create a Qt account soon.  Your information in that regard was appreciated.

A big reason for inquiring about the Json Format is that could provide a link to LibreCAD 3 and Lua and LibreCAD 2

Which version of Lua will LibreCAD 3 support?

Json format is often used for Data exchange between programs.  Similarly to Comma Separated Values (CSV).

Been reading on Qt and it's a complete Framework tied into C++.  Very complex and heavy.

That environment would not be great with Coordinate Geometry (COGO).  Lua is much more powerful for Geometry and Trig.  So I'm beginning to see a good growth path.

That is my thought anyway.

Hope this helps us all.

My Linux system failed to link properly with GitHub.  Had to abandon Linux.  Read forum post with Microsoft that there are issues with their code.
