Which link? I think they withdrew the McLaren app from the Android App store so that link will not work.

Re: E-drawings & Solidworks Seminar.

What's with the Solidworks advert? :| I believe e-drawings was originally developed by Bunkspeed and Solidworks bought it No, it wasn't. eDrawings has always been developed by SolidWorks.

Re: E-drawings & Solidworks Seminar.

Just looked a e-drawing in the App store on the Mac and it said the latest version 2.2 supported STEP. Tried it and it does. Android version of e-drawings info says updated Dec 2017 also supports STEP file. So looks like you can export a FreeCAD design as STEP and use e-drawing on Android to view. N...

E-drawings & Solidworks Seminar.

Got invited to and went to a local Solidworks seminar. Boy does it look a sleek product and was very snappy. Apparently, they advise customers to invest in NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards which make a big difference. But at over £5,000 for the standard edition plus over £1,000 per year subscription it ...

Full documenation of options with meshFromShape

Where can I find a full description of all the scripting options of the function meshFromShape using the MeshPart module?

In particular which meshing tool/program it is to use? And therefore what options are available

Thanks
