AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking recommendations for simple software that includes basic construction tools like a ruler, compass, and protractor for teaching descriptive geometry, specifically orthographic projection of planes. They mention having seen a software on YouTube but are unable to identify it. Suggestions include politely asking the friend on Facebook for the software's name, expressing a desire to help others and apologizing for a language barrier. Additionally, the user references Wikipedia pages on Cinderella software and interactive geometry software, although they are uncertain if these resources will meet their needs.

Hello,
I have been trying to help a friend of mine some descriptive geometry like orthographic projection of planes etc . . . I was wondering if someone can recommend a simple software that has the very basic construction tools like a ruler, compass, protractor etc so as to record some of the steps for reference. I have seen a software on youtube but could not get its name.

Perhaps post a VERY polite and simple comment on his Facebook page asking him the name and source of the software he uses. Apologize for not knowing spanish, tell him you want to help others by using this software and thank him for his answer. That might get you the answer you need.

You can also look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_(software )
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interactive_geometry_software
but I don't know if either of those will get you exactly what you need.
