My name is Volker, I'm a teacher at a vocational school in Germany (Berufsbildende Schule). I teach electronics and computer science.
My hobbies are ham radio and machining. In former times I worked with AutoCAD, but that's the atomic bomb for my purposes. I need a slim, fast alternative and so I came to QCAD. LibreCAD is kind of forgotten, QCAD does exactly what I need, the money is more than worth it.
While I'm a fanatic ham radio experimenter and electronics maker, sometimes my artisanal skills are crying for more mechanical challenges. For that reason I need the CAD software.
May there always be an inch of space for your mouse to move

Hi Volker
Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you'll enjoy QCAD as much as I do.
I have designed and then built a few morse key with it, could not do without now

Re: Hi all!
A selfbuilt Morse could be one of the next projects
When I was young, I was a real cw enthuiast. My favourite key was the Junker Taste and I never got a friend of bug keys. I yet own an ETM 3, but only for catching dust... Yes, a milled brass key would be a nice object in my shack.
Have fun with your keys!

Re: Hi all!
Welcome Volker.
N8RLC here Though I can't say I put my license to much use. I also teach basic computer programming and I've wanted to teach an intro electronics course. Perhaps one day. It sounds like you have a really great thing going.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about QCAD. There are some smart people willing to help!
