I want to be able to create drawings (2D) of parts and then be able to plot them out at full scale on a plotter. Some of the features I would like are the following: - being able to locate coordinates using both inch and metric. - create object libraries (macros would be OK too). - being able to define objects by external coordinate lists. - zoom (look at whole drawing and then be able to magnify areas and edit them). - create some kind of intermediate graphics language files. or be able to write the plotter commands to a file. - mouse cursor movement/scrolling is a must. - mouse driven menus would be nice. Since I don't have a full size plotter at home hooked up to my atari, I need to be able to upload the a resultant file to a different computer and plot them. Please e-mail, and I will post a summary.
