@Peter-Birch Welcome!
The User Guide explains how to start, and explains most of the functions as well. You might want to look this over.

@ucimo Welcome!
There are several users using JSCAD with TypeScript. Hopefully, someone will provide a few tips.
There's also an extension for VSCode to review designs. I haven't seen any updates but @crysislinux has been actively in this user group before.
There's a new release of JSCAD V2, including changes from several pull requests.
THANKS to @btakita for the fix to the SVG serialier
THANKS to @andreasplesch for the fixes to the X3D deserialier
THANKS to @platypil for the geom2 fixes
THANKS to @bruceborrett for the new TS definitions

@LucaNitti Welcome!
There are a couple of ways to use DXF files. You can convert the DXF to another format, like SVG. Or you can import the DXF, and use the shapes to create different designs.
You can convert using the JSCAD CLI command.
If you want to use the shapes from the DXF file in designs then a project is required.

@DBJDBJ Welcome!
From the message, it seems that you are using a 'project' which contains the STL file. Is that correct?
Correct. There are several reasons but in general any kind of fetching has security issues. Be careful what you wish for.
If you believe that designs are secure then a fetch/evaluate could be performed. But there should be an option to 'believe'.
For those wondering what should be allowed. Create a project (with multiple source files or external formats), and drag-n-drop to the website. In this case, you control the content 100%.

@Jason-Sprouse hmm...
The website doesn't have a backend service/process. Everything is handled by the browser, including loading designs.
The only trick is for designs provided an a URL parameter. In this case, the URL is posted to a little script that reads the contents, stores the file locally, and returns the URL to the local file.
Of course, some other backend service could be added.
@Jason-Sprouse Not a problem. As you mentioned, the engine has to be taught first. How can we make that happen?
FYI, if the results are saved and made available on the web, then the design can be posted to the JSCAD website. I do this for my designs at Thingiverse.

@Jason-Sprouse Love the idea! There are lots of reasons to use AI, and most are for research or learning purposes.
You might want to start with some examples. Such as "show me how to use JSCAD circles?" Or even more complex examples.
@Jason-Sprouse what you installed was the WHOLE project, which requires NODEJS, NPM, etc. you will find the code for the CLI and the WEBUI. Once setup, you can change the code, run tests, add new functionality, etc. The packages are linked together.
The CLI can be installed directly from NPM. See the README for the CLI.
