Request for more options for text object's FontName.
Seems like only Arial can be used for a text object's ViewObject.FontName. Can more fonts be added?

Comparison of CAD software architecture.
This might be asking for much but is there any comparison of the fundamental designs behind different major CAD systems like FreeCAD, Siemens NX, Solidworks, Autocad, etc. What makes some better or worse on different tasks?

Re: Need help scripting Part.makeCompound with ViewObject
Thanks for the help Chris and the explanation Ickby. If i use black for everything then that gives me the desired but colour restricted effect. To bad there isn't an easier way.

Need help scripting Part.makeCompound with ViewObject
I would like to combine a group of edges of certain thickness and colour with spheres that represent intersection points of these edges. The code i used is: s1 = doc.addObject("Part::Feature", "s1") s1.Shape = Part.makeCompound([Part.Shape([Part.Line(dts2[0], dts2[1]), Part.Line(...

Re: What about using GPU's to speed up matrix math?
How I would apply deep learning to CAD is something I could tell you only after you signed an NDA.

Re: What about using GPU's to speed up matrix math?
Maybe looking at what the AI/deep learning packages are doing could help with implementation issues like threading. Torch 7 is one open source package. Facebook made public it's Cuda multithreading software for torch a couple years back.

What about using GPU's to speed up matrix math?
I don't know if this would be something a CAD package should have. GPU's for doing the heavy lifting of matrix math are used in machine learning/deep learning/neural networks to do hardware speed ups of matrix math. They are not even connected to video monitors and are used like floating point copro...
