[DARARepeater] 3D Modeling Class Tomorrow

[Jan Servaites]

Login,
Okay, more word salad: /"This approach is great for people who prefer 
precision and repeatability, as you can easily tweak numbers in the code 
to adjust your designs."
/That says nothing, in my opinion.
I have learned Solidworks 2009 since 2009 and if you want precision, try 
Solidworks.....I guess?
