I found that doing so for graphics was tedious, as was digitizing on a tablet as well. Fontographer's tools and scanned templates were the bomb!
I'd be happy with just designing the TwiggyMac bezel model with tabs on the inside to clamp 6 x 6 x 6 sections together in alignment. Welding the sections together with MEK and then removing thin tabs would be a breeze.
Heck, you could design the tabs to click together without the need for clamps or even hassling with alignment! }
Local lil' bro runs SolidWorks at work too, but that's out of the question for me. Is there any freely available open source package running under Linux that might be usable?
I could upgrade to a better version of X if I had to for the Mac as well. Would the Mini be up to the task if there's a package that's affordable?
Maybe I'll need to sell off a bit more of my toy collection and go whole hog on this new hobby, I'll need to ponder a bit, no rush, the longer I wait the better the trade off should get. This is no time to be selling collectibles and the new toys will be getting larger and less expensive while I wait for the right time and the right buyers.
