Title: Inkscape??
Post by: Longcruise on January 25, 2022, 06:37:38 PM
Do any of you all use Inkscape for design work?  If so what are your thoughts on it.  Any other suggestions?

what is your plan with inkscape. i have used this app long ago.
if it is for design things, i suggest you to use "krita". best app ever i have used.
i do such things in krita.

I use CadSTD Pro v 3.7.7
There was a lower version FREE when I got it about 5 years ago.

I have the pro version now and does good for me.
You have seen picture of my drawings many times, the angle lines look stepped but are very accurate.
When you zoom out the lines look like this

When you print they look like this

Here is a T/D I want to make in the future

Max that's the same one I use.  I used the freebie for a while but went with the pro version for the additional features. 

I should be satisfied with it but thought there might be some other options that are even more versatile.   So far I'll be staying with CadStd.

Ink, that's some  cool stuff that you do.

Haven't heard from you in a while.  Hope all is well.
