General discussion about BabaCAD / Re: Import 3d printing model

Use command (type in the command line) STLIN to import .STL files (3D printing file). To export your 3DSolid objects from BabaCAD Enterprise to .STL format (for 3D printing) use command STLOUT.

I've upgraded from home to enterprise but I can't find how to import my 3d printing models. I only see an icon of STEP import in 3d modeling menu.

There is no difference between Windows or Linux/Wine registration.

I'm using BabaCAD 2018 on Windows 10, but I just read about possibility to run on Linux through Wine. Can I use the same serial key to register on Linux computer?

I have licensed 2018 version. Is there an option to upgrade to 2020 or I have to pay the full price?

"BabaCAD Home" license allows you to download updates and new versions in one year. Only "BabaCAD Enterprise" licensed users can upgrade to newer versions regardless the time limit and no matter how many versions are released in the meantime.

Use command UNITS. Type 'UNITS' <enter> in command-line and choose 'E' (engineering - feet) or choose option 'A' (architectural - inches).

I found this AutoCAD's .lsp on the internet and it works in BabaCAD also (just copy the code to dist.lsp file, copy dist.lsp to Support/LISP and add 'lisp\disp.lsp' (without quotes) to Support/bcad.mnu below the **LISP (lisp load section) to have dist.lsp loaded on startup). You can also add an icon for DIST command (would be placed into 'LISP Examples' menu), and everything is explained at the top of bcad.mnu file.

To get distance measured, type DIST in command line and specify points to print out measurement value on the command line.

(defun c:DIST ()
(setq x1 (getpoint "\nSelect First Point: "))
(setq x2 (getpoint x1 "\nSelect Second Point: "))
(prompt (strcat "\nTotal Distance = " (distance x1 x2)))
(princ)
)

OK, not what I really wanted, but it is a work around.
When you've pasted a number of different objects, say a number of different sized kitchen units in a line, there is no single line or polyline to measure. Drawing a line for the total distance confirms the measurement and is a work around, but in autocad and draughtsight they have a tape measure, just click on the two furthest corners and get a distance.
