Do you want BRL-CAD? https://brlcad.org/ (what you describe sounds a bit like my limited understanding of its UI) As noted, the usual suspects are LibreCAD, FreeCAD, or if you want to go completely programmatic, OpenSCAD. For the latter, if you already know Python, you might want to consider (Open)PythonSCAD: https://pythonscad.org/ If you want a graphical front-end using nodes and wires (to reduce syntax errors) there is: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor You might want to consider a traditional vector drawing program such as Inkscape or Cenon. Early on in Microsoft's Windows for Pen Computing and Tablet PC efforts there were some very cool programs exactly suited to this sort of thing such as Saltire Sketchright: https://www.nonvi.com/sm/sr.html I'd love to see the features from Sketchright in a tool such as: https://rnot

Well, there are pages on problems such as; https://scriptsofanotherdimension.tumblr.com/ https://blueprintsfromhell.tumblr.com/ and the biggest problem is that a strong bound is screen/display size --- any code chunk which won't fit on a single screen becomes hard to follow (which direction does one scroll next?) and if one does the obvious of declaring modules, then one runs into the wall of text which one was presumably trying to escape from --- just each word is wrapped up in pretty boxes and decorated with lines. My take on this has always been that we don't have an answer for the question: >What does an algorithm look like? That said, I work in this style when I can, often using: https://www.blockscad3d.com/editor/ to rough out a design, or: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor for more complex projects --- though that la

In Show HN: Visual flow-based programming for Erlang, inspired by Node-RED
Finishing up yet another re-write of my current project: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview which I hope to then wrap up in a nice front-end using: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor (or maybe some other tool --- is there a stand-alone, desktop version of Blockly which is extensible?) Hopefully I'll also figure out how to write up a LaTeX package for the Literate Programming technique used and maybe a _TUGboat_ article.
