I believe you mentioned two orthogonal features. 1) Import/export from CAD tools. Absolutely. That’s one of the main goals. PartCAD will be the persistence layer for parts I create in FreeCAD. (Whole OpenVMP was designed in FreeCAD.) In another channel I’m trying to convince the author of similar plugins to join PartCAD. 2) Enrich the model metadata with anchor/relative position/orientation. Absolutely. This will be required to enable replacement/alternative parts maintained by different parties. We can come up with a convention how to define such metadata in FreeCAD so that PartCAD is able to recognise it, until FreeCAD supports it natively.
- eternityforest 3y agoThat is exactly what I was hoping for! 3DP/CAD is still one of the most exciting areas in FOSS and it's really cool to see this kind of thing moving forward.
