Armin:

Thank You for the replies this week and the support.  

I am now back to using Ubuntu. LibreCAD 2 has issues on Ubuntu 20.04.  Finally got connected to GitHub via Linux.  I will only be working on LibreCAD 3 going forward.  Especially Lua 5.2/5.3 Coordinate Geometry (COGO).

This week was especially challenging.  David will  possibly be back in September.

My conclusion at this point is to move on to LibreCAD 3.  Trying to build the executable of v3 with David, with him in Chicago it's just not working out.  He'll have to be local.   Anyway effort on LibreCAD 2 would not provide a good return on the invested time.

I will attempt a LibreCAD 3 build to obtain a feel for the new version as a users.  In that regard I'll monitor the users forum.

Along with that I will download the source code into Visual Studio to review for possible areas in the code where I might actually be able to make code contributions.  An area I could contribute is with debugging.  I can be  very determined in the area if solving problems.  I was an Professional Survey Engineer.

You could assist me in by evaluating my progress in that respect.

Beyond Debugging I feel I can contribute with documentation of the Coordinate Geometry (COGO) documentation.

I hope this post will help us all move forward with mutual understanding.

LibreCAD has been a source of hope to myself for quite some time.

Thank You for your time and effort.
