RADV Driver Adds VK_EXT_line_rasterization In Preparing For Eventual Vulkan CAD Apps

Those are actually line segments. Lines extend infinitely in both directions.

:P

You still need to define them either with a vector(direction, n coordinates for n dimensions) and a passing point, so it's always strictly equivalent to specify two passing points

Actually, lines have 2 points.

The most pointless extension ever.

The most pointless extension ever. Vulkan should be free of any drawing primitive functions nonsense or it will end up as OpenGL imho - too big/difficult to implement drivers for.

Just because you don't find it useful, it doesn't make it pointless.

For 3D modelling there is only FreeCAD and OpenSCAD afaik.

What's the best CAD FOSS software available?

I don't know which is the best. I use LibreCAD (https://librecad.org/). It does what I need...

[GruenSein]

Kicad, I guess. Freecad isn't too bad either, but has an unusual workflow.

KiCAD appears to be for PCB layout only. Is there no real alternative to Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks?

Does any more CAD software plans to transition to Vulkan?
