...? To answer your original question “how do I get those numbers out of RapCAD or OpenSCAD and into a DXF or SVG?” I took your 3d_Fingerjoint.scad file and exported it to an STL.  I imported the STL file into AutoCAD and traced a POLYLINE around the boundary of the 4 pieces and then exported a DXF...

... isn't an option since it can't model radius endmills. I've gone ahead and put in an issue w/ both OpenSCAD and RapCAD to add the ability to write out numbers from calculations to a text file --- that and some plain text would let one directly create G-Code which would allow either be a very...

... straight-line move --- how do I get those numbers out of RapCAD or OpenSCAD and into a DXF or SVG? I'm not seeing a way to get these coordinates written out to a file or to put a non-closed path into a DXF or SVG There simply isn't a way to export an open path in a DXF from OpenSCAD --- I don't want to...

2D SVG concat(points, [point]) no output, loops&conditionals, vector declarations

For the 2D angle there are a number of other tools to try/consider:  - Processing - Nodebox - Metapost (and its derivatives such as TikZ, Asymptote, &c.) - Maker.js -- this is oriented towards CAM another successor tool would (eventually?) be RapCAD. A newer tool I'm investigating is CADquery...

.x .y .z notation

I don't know where the main discussion about user-defined namespace objects is taking place. However, there are two options for syntax. One option is to use my_namespace::member, which avoids the use of dot notation. A number of languages use this syntax, including C++ and Rapcad. The other...
