Export true curves?
-
If skp recognizes circles, arcs, and such in entity info....and data to edit curves is also retained when using fredo's bezier.. could it be possible for a ruby to scrape this data and export true 2d data, preserving control points? Closest I have is 3d dwg export of arc and circle....
if this is impossible can someone rec a 2d cad that is close skp's level of intuitive drafting? I enjoy 2d drafting in skp a great deal , but lack of splines is making production difficult -
