Needless to say, this is a nuisance, and sort of begs the question of why we can't use a computer to do this grunt work. After that, as a visual aid, I have to HAND COPY the coordinates onto a printout of the drawing. I then select the points and do a "List Info" which gives their coordinates. I then move the drawing to put one of the points on the 0,0 grid position (this isn't essential, but it makes the rest easier) and turn off the display of everything except the points layer. The only way I've found to get the info I need is to create another layer in the drawing where I create point entities at the end of each line entity, or other feature of interest. I can't find any way at present (Version: master SCM Revision: 2.0.0beta1Ĭompiled on: Jan 10 2013) to make LibreCad produce X-Y labels on the drawing the way that it does linear measurements. Making it more of a pain, is that the mill ONLY accepts X-Y coordinates of distance from a datum point. Unfortunately the only way that I have to program the mill is to manually enter the program information - I'm not sure if we have the ability to do remote programing, and even if so, the machine expects "G-code" which AFAIK LibreCad can't produce. One of the things that I use LibreCad for is to make drawings of parts that I will subsequently make on our Sharp 2-axis CNC mill.
