(...) LeoCAM had a really rudimentary "snap-to" functionality added to LeoCAD. It didn't work entirely well, and was never entirely completed (as it was an academic proof, rather than an actual attempt to create a functionality). The sources have (...) (14 years ago, 17-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) You could try to track down a copy of leoCAM. Maybe that'll do it. Or perhaps some of the leoCAM features have migrated back into leocad? I don't know, but it might be worth a look. Good luck, Don (14 years ago, 15-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I did a little research. You can create bones and poses in Daz3D Studio and Poser. Poser 8 costs $250, but you can buy Poser 7 for $50. Daz3D Studio is free, but you have to buy a $30 plugin to create your own bones and poses from scratch. (...) (14 years ago, 8-Aug-10, to lugnet.cad)
