Speed is one thing which current PythonCAD will not be able to
cope up with. I started importing text from DXF files and the
drawing regeneration its taking a real long time.
On AutoCAD you are right Matteo there are not more than 10 commands
which are used for 90% of time and I am only asking the team to look
at these. They are mostly small workaround of existing commands in
pythoncad.
Also I wish if someone can compile an .msi (windows installer) for pythoncad
which also installs related gtk components for windows users are too dumb
to do that. (since now hits on pythoncad have started increasing it would be
nice if few users can click, install and see that pythoncad do work).

Subject: [PythonCAD] R: Re: PythonCAD should remain focused on 2D until complete
Ok Guys ...
I do not like Autocad at All... it's an old slow program ...
If
you try GBG DraftMaker M10 FreeToDesing you can understand what is a good
mecanical 2d cad ....
For my point of view, we have to think at what feature
really help the user do develop a fast 2d drawing...
Actually 90% of the
Mechanical parts need a 2d Drawing to be done ...( OK most of this caming from
3d )..
Actually all the opensource 3d program have a very beed 2d parts ...(May
be they need PythonCad)
So i think that we need to explore in deep the
iso/ansi/jis standards and put as mutch as possible in PythonCad.
I like the
user interface like it is ...
Of course we need a toolbar .. as Gertwin suggest
a configurable palette will be a good idea ...Most the people that use Autocad
have thousend of icons on the application, but they most used are 4/5 of it..
Now me and the developer team have started the R38 version ...
We can decide
all togheder witch feature to implement for that version.
I think that we can
start to think at the user interface for the R40 ......
Thanks
Matteo
