Cool! Thanks.

Quick question: Any reason that you can think of as to why I can't keep the program on my desktop? Every time I go to work on the program, I have to re download it. That and any designs that I save don't actually show up in a workable format. It ends up in a text format in XML.

Where do you save the downloaded file?
which OS (Mac, Win , Linux)?

Text-format in XML:
... this is the project file, that stores all the parameters of your project

workable Format:
... i think, what you mean is how to view the result drawings without rattleCAD
... if so, you have to export HTML, SVG or PDF

Very cool! I'm a happy user and will be downloading in the next day or so (and I should probably send you some more $$ too!).

Thanks for this!

Hi,

rattleCAD provides a tubeMiter feature from version 3.4.05.54 and newer.
This gives you the opportunity to calculate tube miters from a tool, next to rattleCAD.

This plugin works with round and oval (elliptical) tubes und tools like cylinders, cones, frustum cones and planes and export this miter to a pdf-file in your rattleCAD export-directory.

Thanks so much for this! I've really been enjoying the packaged Mac version lately.

This awesome. So much work involved. I installed the new version but it won't export to DXF for me. Just get a no response when I hit the button. Any ideas?

Hi,
sorry for this.
The use of a new canvas library influences the dxf export.
You can use SVG export instead an translate the SVG to DXF via an other Software-
I think inkscape is able to convert SVG to DXF
