I'd love to use C or C++ but my reading of the support under Linux suggested that my only option for FULL support was Lisp. I haven't touched a Windows box since 1999; I'm strictly Linux.
If my interpretation of what I read is…
James:
Thanks for the additional sources.
So far, LISP has to be the ugliest syntactical language I've ever run across and I've code in 22 computer languages. Trying to read someone else's code at this stage is not a learning experience since I ge…
This is a duplicate question. It was answered elsewhere.
When I posted the question, the web site gave me an error and told me to wait to try again. I did so and it resulted in a duplicate post.
The answer, BTW, is non intuitive.
James:
Thanks for the information. I didn't know BLADE existed so I'll have to research that. I'm hoping BricsCAD has some tutorials on LISP development.
I looked at afralisp.com and all I get are links to sites that want to sell services or route…
James:
I was reading about LISP today when this thread appeared.
What programming environment did you use to write the code?
I'm a professional software developer with zero LISP exposure. I want to start creating drawing objects by just specifyin…
When cloud becomes the only option, I'll quit upgrading. Anyone that wants to feed the CIA, NSA, etc can do so, but not me.
To create a better product for all platforms, two versions of any particular platforms executable should be provided. The fi…
Thank you for the reply.
Have you read this anywhere to reach your conclusion or is your knowledge arrived at by experience?
I've watched the videos and read what I could find and never discovered what you've stated. I'm going to experiment using …
Roy: Thank you.
As I indicated in my original post, I tried DMMOVE with the 'Enable selection of 3D solid faces' icon clicked and that didn't work. I read DMMOVE was supposed to do what I wanted.
So, I now surmise that that icon and the CTRL key …
Interesting approach. I hadn't thought about using that slab as a subtraction entity.
The primitive CAD app I used for 15 years, CYCAS, has a move point facility that can do it in just one command. It's disappointing that something as sophisticated…

Keeping Ubuntu 18.04 up to date with patches is as easy as executing this script as root:
!/bin/bash
returnCode=1
while [ ${returnCode} -ne 0 ]; do
apt update
returnCode=$?
echo ${returnCode}
done
returnCode=1
while [ ${r…
It's obvious that you started this discussion because you want more control over where and how your app is executed. Equally obvious is that the most control you're going to get is to eliminate as much middleware and random uncontrollable O/S intera…
Appimage has stolen the old JAVA canard of write once run everywhere. It was BS then and is BS now. Performance always takes a hit when you go through an abstraction layer.
Flatpak has security issues and was developed by Redhat now owned by IBM. I…
I get rid of all snap default software and install the normal equivalents. Just trying to get the calculator up under snap takes Waayyy too long.
I don't have an SSD in my box. If I did, I might not object to snap as much because it would presumabl…
I'm on 18.04 and patch the O/S weekly.
Can you not statically link your executable so that it won't look for local libraries?
i.e. build on 18.04 and statically link in 18.04 libraries so when run on an older system it will use the 18.04 code that…
I'd bet that an IP analysis of the spam source would show that prudent use of firewall rules to nuke all traffic from certain IP's would clean this up a lot.
That along with using a challenge / response mechanism would eliminate 99.9% of spam.

During the current SPAM storm, could the Subject line be changed to eliminate irrelevant information and display the necessary component only?
Everything up to the colon on the current Subject line is mostly useless information and is the portion o…
Anthony:
Where exactly do you see this Ask Support button? I used my normal route to file a bug report and along the way did Ctrl-F searches for the word 'ask' and never got a hit. I suspect I'm ending up where's you're indicating, but via a diffe…
The tail end of the video URL I supplied provides exactly the steps you're alluding to and I tried them.
Sadly, I can't get the drag of the control to take. It simply won't do as the video suggests. What I end up with is a tiny cube on my screen wi…
I just purchased V19 for Linux and I don't have a Layer States where you apparently have yours.
When I tried creating the drop down as Ralph showed, dragging the control as the last step just doesn't work. I can do everything but drag the control t…
For anyone that may stumble across this thread.
I found a video reference in the 'Command Reference' after I looked up Layer States.

It explains the concept well and I got Layer States set up alm…
@'Hans De Backer'
I'm a new BricsCAD user with very limited CAD experience altogether, so I stumble through the product.
I am, however, a retired Professional Software Developer and think you would appreciate some constructive criticism. My backgr…
@Michael Mayer
Yes, it will display the thumbnails, but if you don't have BIM it won't insert the BIM images.
I now use the Components popup to get the thumbnails preview and then use Insert Block to hunt for the file.
