Freecad and nanocad work well, power draw also works except when I used it,
I had to write my own trig functions. However I never exported the dial
plates from them as I can and still do use deltacad. I have also used
progecad. My book "Programming Shadows" has sample code for them, as well
as othe
I would offer for consideration several options that work well and are easy
to program and use; some are more functional than others. I have tried and
written code for all of them, and I discuss them on my website, as well as
having functioning code for various dial types.
NanoCAD https://nano
Although the original question referred to a vertical dial, for a
horizontal dial it works very well 6 months in the year on the pole, fairly
well as the latitude moves towards the equator, but does get progressively
less and less accurate.
