SnapCAD is available! - Philippe Hurbain - 2015-06-19
SnapCAD was released officially yesterday by VEX. This is a "new" LDraw editor that targets robot building using VEX IQ parts. It is an adapted version of MLCad, and uses the parts that I modeled from VEX 3D models.
See SnapCAD page here.
As a side note, SnapCAD can be used for regular LDraw stuff (your just have to change default library and categories). And it does correct a few MLCad known bugs, such as the greyed-out vector rotation (you must uncheck "absolute position" to make it available).

The screenshot is very small. Do you have a bigger one?

Oh, I thought you were developing it.
Re: SnapCAD is available! - Philippe Hurbain - 2015-07-17
Closed source...

Just wondering..
Why did he release this as snapcad and not just MLCad 3.x with some changed config files etc?
Re: SnapCAD is available! - Philippe Hurbain - 2015-07-17
Because he got missionned by VEX and they needed a face lift to remove references to the somewhat competing LLEGO company... I was hoping he would release a MLCad 3.x with those bugs corrected, but nothing so far
Re: SnapCAD is available! - Michael Horvath - 2015-07-17
Not likely he'll fix the nested MPD bug...
