Java 3d Cad / News: Recent posts

see the history file in source package...

Orthogonal (sp?) drawfting works now in all 'direct' views. Axonometric not yet... Perspective viewing works. Some minor stuff repaired.

Now included a simple help system; press F1 (or h) and a small window should open to show some verrry short descriptions about commands.

Hopefully a better system will follow...

BTW, due to the method of saving the 3d data as serialized stuff, old .org files can't be opened due to class changes. Perhaps there is way around that - haven't looked as yet. DXF writer is due sometime in future but may take time. Or other method for saving stuff.... read more

Now (if I've got the things right..) there is a zip file with the Java source for the program. Also 1 (small.....) example file is included. Hopefully something better is included a bit later.

Have fun

Java 3d Cad -program is a 3d wireframe drafting program. Currently user can create lines, polylines and insert other objects; just now jpg's, gifs and Java 3d Cad -created 3d models, as blocks. Also a rudimentary dxf support is included.

User can view objects from directly above, under, left, right, front and back, in a sort of axonometric view and in perspective view.

Models can be saved and reloaded. If models are used as inserted blocks, the blocks are not saved within the main model; only the info of the file is kept there, and when the main model is reopened, the blocks are reloaded (changes to them are then at once visible).... read more
