1.2.2. Sketching a final project

The project idea came from 2 people from our local Hackspace (thanks :]) and so I sketched it with LibreCAD. It’s easy to learn and a nice CAD for technical 2D design.

Editing

No Text

When working, I spend many searches to find out, why no text is shown. Turns out, that when in draft mode, no text is shown for performance reasons. So i need to deactivate draft mode to see text:

Working with commands is also very nice, especially when using the relativ point with @:

Command Button

Meaning draw a line from point 10,10 to 20,10 and then a line relative from 20,10 (which is currently the ‘relativ point’) add @10,20. So the new endpoint is 20+10,10+20==30,30
