short video about the Epic Pen: How to use Epic Pen to Annotate PC Screen - YouTube
I use commercial version of the Epic Pen. Its most useful tools are arrow and ellipse. Its text tool is so buggy that it is useless. If the Epic Pen hangs up, I go to Task Manager and stop it there.
I have a lot of respect for people who are tinkering around with this stuff. With EvilDesk charging thousands per year for software that seems to even be regressing. And this stuff is free?
I don’t have time to learn/tinker. I’ve kind of committed myself to my workflow (CAD/Rhino and dotNET) and I’m old; there’s already a lot on my plate. I also need (like REALLY need) a command line.
Me, too!
Sidenote:
I take it as a sign of ‘professional’, or elegant software architecture when the ‘core access’ happens by some sort of shell/programming language, like in an operating system. The UI with all the fancy buttons is just a layer on top that gets translated to commands, which can be logged, and turned into macros or scripts.
but jokes aside that is the worst obstacle for productive working and i fear too many just accept mouse clicking and swirling around for completing tasks other than drawing of course also in other software, rather than investing time into establishing a mouse free environment making working a bliss and quicker. Rhino has many shortcuts or initials built in to the command options which avoid exactly this… now the mac version of Rhino has so many commands which force you to move with the mouse to a little button to complete it. i am pretty sure the windows version is nice and clean in these regards, i keep ranting about it forever…
Freecad and Blender have constraints with symbols previewed in the viewport. I hope Rhino 8 also will have constraints with previewing it in the viewport.
i think the current communicated constraints need a lot of UI work, the people are giving good feedback from what i read but i did not read it all yet.
the main issue is i think that it should be as intuitive as possible, the current idea seems more focused on copying solid works with branches and folders etc rather than keeping it Rhino Style. i would do away with this entire tree structure and keep it visually direct.
