Hi Guys -- I did a little more work on PythonCAD over the weekend. In particular, I did two things:
1. I fixed a bug which was causing a segfault (yes -- Python itself died) when importing an image. I will send a quick patch to Art separately. 2. I created a 1:1 scale titleblock drawing for 11x17 paper in landscape orientation. When I make a drawing I like to have a drawing area around my drawing so that I know how big the drawing will be when printed. The titleblock incorporates a boundary with labeled areas to acheive this goal. It looks like a normal titleblock you would see used on any mechanical drawing. The idea is that a user can first input the titleblock, and then draw the rest of his drawing in the drawing area. Please find the titleblock (in PythonCAD native .xml.gz format) attached below. The titleblock is released under the GNU LPGL licence. Art -- please feel free to put it into the project's released files if you like. One caveat: The titleblock is drawn to 11" x 17" scale. When you first open PythonCAD and draw a line, the line thickness is set to 1.00 in whatever units you use. If you use inches, as I do, then your lines will be giant blobs in this titleblock. Make sure that you set the line thickess to 0.01 (this is what I use) -- or something appropriately thin -- before using this titleblock. Stuart
