It does, along with many other formats.

I could have written this same comment! For the most part I stick with Fusion, although my experience with build123d has also been great.

At the risk of spamming this thread, check out FluidCad. It has excellent GUI based cad tools, and those same tools generate the equivalent 'code cad' for each operation. Of course you can also use 'code first' instead.

I think it's really exciting, and while it's early in development it is already very usable.

I would like to add FluidCad to this list. A very interesting combination of Code Cad and GUI cad.

Fluidcad does this very nicely. Still in early development but very promising.

Unfortunately, I first "pre-ordered" their machine in 2021. It has never gone into commercial production, and at this point I don't think it ever will.

Audible, Amazon's audiobook division, has been offering titles narrated with 'virtual voice' for a few years now. I prefer human narrators, but I think it sounds surprisingly good for what it is.

Ahh, looks like 'manifold'. So, still triangles?

Just curious, what "modern geometry kernel" are you building this on?

I love what I see so far with FluidCAD! I'm a Fusion user that keeps bouncing off FreeCAD, and I have dabbled with build123d. Very interested to see where this project goes as it seems to be great combination of gui-driven and code-driven cad.

Hugh Howey, the author of the Silo series, including the popular work "Wool", has released an open source app for authoring fiction.

Well, I find Whispersync for Kindle to be absolutely irreplaceable.

I have a 40 minute drive to work each way, and I find audiobooks the best way to pass the time. At night if I want to read the same book from my drive, Kindle picks up exactly where I stopped listening. And does the reverse the next morning when I get in the car.

If any else is doing this, I am unaware. But it's AWESOME.

My main complaint is Amazon has discontinued Kindle devices with physical page turn buttons. Whoever made that decision should be fired.

Really interesting! Love the combination of 'code cad' and graphical interface. I've been screwing around with build123d and its vscode plugin, which always selections, but this seems to take that concept much further.
