<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>Anybody got any success for editing CAD files for the phone case?<br>Basically I am trying to get them open in brlcad (which seems to be the best free CAD software ever), <br>without any success yet.<br>
I had some success in VariCad demo (proprietary) where parts of the design are imported using STEP format, but it does not seem good enough, as I see about 50% of the shapes usually.<br>IGES on the other hand seems like a total dissaster.<br>
The only solution I currently see is buying or pirating the Pro/ENGINEER to edit or convert them to brlcad .g format using the Pro/E to BRLCAD converter plugin for Pro/ENGINEER from the brlcad suite. Buying or pirating for this task is not the option I like.<br>
Anybody that has a Pro/ENGINEER license can assist with that?<br>There is a nice description how to do it in<br><a href="http://brlcad.org/w/images/6/66/Converting_Geometry.pdf">http://brlcad.org/w/images/6/66/Converting_Geometry.pdf</a> <br>
in section 4.9 page 27 of pdf.<br>After this is done properly, maybe the BRLCAD to DXF converter can be used to<br>improve accessibility of design files for those that have AutoCad.<br>If this issue wont be resolved I don't believe a community effort to build on the openness <br>
of the device will ever succeed.<br><br>Regards,<br>Ignas</div>
