Here's an example of what's possible with V3.

This example loads a font from Google Fonts, parses the fonts using opentype.js, and creates outlines for text strings.

It's wide open now. What do you want to use?

@Steve-Spodaryk

Are you using the Text functions? Those have changed in V3.

@Steve-Spodaryk

I've tested drag and drop several times.

One BAD thing about browsers is the cache. Did you try clearing the cache? Or restarting the browser?

z3dev

Here's a little present for you to show off V3.

Good BUG hunting!

Yeah. There's a few small bugs in the new UI for both V2 and V3. Try again. You should be able to drag and drop a design now.

z3dev

The JSCAD website has been refreshed with a splash page, downloadable examples, and forum information.

In addition, JSCAD V2 is now running the vastly improved UI from jscadui.

Many many thanks to @hrgdavor for awesome new UI!!!

@sopatt Sorry to the late reply.

You probably already know this but an ''orientation" is required to determine the rotation, and sign of the angle.

This is probably the best implementation out there. And if you want then this could be added to the vec3 functions.
