Cad/Cam software for Linux

Looks nice, thank you.
If i get a chance to play with it, i will report back.

another demo video of viaconstructor:

Meister, that is looking great!

Very nice that you have included tabs and 3D (triangle shape) tabs!

I would like to test it but I can't get it installed, I'm apparently not experienced enough ...
I get the following error message:

michael@Meiner:~$ sudo git clone git@github.com:multigcs/viaconstructor.git

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes

Please make sure that the correct access permissions are in place
and the repository exists.

Could someone please tell me step by step how to go about installing it?

 

And don't use sudo when cloning and building - only during install - or you are likely to get permission problems later.

OK I now have the clone on my computer
and how does it go on now?
If I now "pip3 install viaconstructor"

I get now the following

michael@Meiner:~/viaconstructor$

and now?

 

Hi,
there are 2 different ways to install:
* pip3 install viaconstructor (this will install it to you system)
or
* git clone github.com/multigcs/viaconstructor.git (this will get the sources)
* pip3 install -r requirements.txt (this will install the depend's)

from Source you can start with:

bin/viaconstructor tests/data/simple.dxf

or From System (installed via pip)

viaconstructor PATH_TO_YOUR_DXF

Thanks for the help,
but somehow I do not get further!

That can not be so difficult or?

Now I get the following:
 

I suspect there is something wrong with the PATCH ....
I installed it with:
pip3 install viaconstructor

what is the problem?

 

You are using Python3.6, this will only works with Python3.9 and newer , sorry

if no other way works, you can try the experimental App-Image:

wget multixmedia.org/viaconstructor-0.3.3-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x viaconstructor-0.3.3-x86_64.AppImage
./viaconstructor-0.3.3-x86_64.AppImage PATH_TO_YOUR_DXF
