I’ve been on my latest kick on the lack of a map for how heekscad is laid out. I thought that perhaps, I could just use some software and magically suck out some UML diagrams to take care of that.. … Continue reading →

Ok.. So tried umbrello from the synaptic repository and It seems like I was getting some segmentation faults on my first little try… Sort of like a bad first date… Later… Well lets see what first impression are with ArgoUml … Continue reading →

I’ve been playing around trying to develop a tool to identify bad-contraints within HeeksCAD.  Well, I was reflecting to myself that this was trying to work out an electrical problem without have a circuit diagram. The thought occurred to me … Continue reading →

A friend of my was telling me a story about a programmer who worked on software he uses. Apparently, this guy was brilliant but a bit eccentric.  I guess he would program for a couple of hours and take a … Continue reading →

Well, I submitted what I consider actually coding contribution to Heekscad http://code.google.com/p/heekscad/source/detail?r=1332 It’s not really a address the root cause of why these constraint errors are happening, but at least it catches some of them on a file load and … Continue reading →

I think I’m running into a unimplemented function or something… I’m getting the segmentation fault in this routine: line GetLineFromEndedObject(EndedObject* eobj) { eobj->LoadToDoubles(); point p; p.x = &eobj->A->mx; p.y = &eobj->A->my; PushBack(p.x); PushBack(p.y); point p2; p2.x = &eobj->B->mx; p2.y = … Continue reading →

I’ve been playing around with the dimensional constraints and they’re pretty cool. The insidious thing is that there are a bunch of critters in the code that seems to be causing either segmentation faults or cause the constraints on the … Continue reading →

I have the need to adjust a line to exactly 1″ in heekscad… (I just can’t get into that thar metric stuff just yet). Anyway.. I’m suspect that since I running inch.. Some thing is hosed up in the code. … Continue reading →

My heekscad adventure lately has been a bit disappointing.  I had gotten by diagonal pop-up box design made and I was elated.  I thought test out the rest of the constraints and make a parametric model of a pop-out cylinder.  … Continue reading →

This is not a fully developed thought… I just did some quick search and wanted preserve the link. I found pyvnc2swf in the ubuntu synpatic repositories.  I thought it would be sort of cool to record a video of stuff … Continue reading →
