Ffmpeg¶
Inkscape is a versatile tool that can handle a wide range of graphic design tasks. It may have a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get comfortable with the basic tools and workflow, you’ll be able to create stunning vector graphics efficiently.
Text to CAD¶
Text to CAD generally refers to the process of converting text (such as annotations, labels, or any other textual content) into a CAD format or integrating text into a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) system for use in technical drawings or models. This process can be useful when you need to incorporate textual information (like dimensions, labels, or instructions) into your technical design files, often in CAD software like AutoCAD, Fusion 360, or others.
