My name is Mark Sims, president of Nanorex, Inc..

FreeCAD has piqued my curiousity since Nanorex is working on an OpenSource parametric modeling (MCAD) system called NanoEngineer-1 (aka NE1) for nanoscale design. NE1 is based on Qt (4.0) and Python, just like FreeCAD.

I'd like to learn more about FreeCAD and explore the possibility of joining forces since there are many goals we have in common.

A FreeCAD journal I'll be maintaining.


 * Downloaded FreeCAD for Windows XP. Install was a snap. No problems with startup.
 * When attempting to download online help, I got the error:
 * Cannot find host 'free-cad.sourceforge.net'


 * Many similarities in UI layout with NE1.
