    cad software similar to autodesk inventor?

    Anyone know of any?
    I'm having a lot of trouble finding one.

    Most are for architecture, but i want it for mechanical design stuff.

    There is an IntelliCAD from bricscad.com, which is fully compatible AutoCAD software recently ported or maybe run under wine to linux. I was not able to get it running. I think they focus on redhat and suse compatibility.

    I also know of varicad from varicad.com, 2d/3d mechanical design software. I think they even have .deb as download which I tried to install, but failed. I think there was dependency on some Qt libraries in my case.

    I don't know inventor, but for my cad needs I use qcad. Install it through synaptic or
    sudo apt-get install qcad.
    Good luck

    sorry for the double post.

    But yea, all of the mentioned cad softwares are 2d. I want a 3d cad software that can simulate motion and assemble parts.

    thanks!

    Hej,

    I did install KDE and tried installing both varicad & bricscad.

    bricscad appears not to work on a debian based system.

    Varicad still are missing the libqt3c102-mt

    I've been googlin for libqt3c102-mt and apparently it is not compatible with KDE 3.4
    There is a simular package, libqt3-mt, but this does not work with Varicad

    Any other ideas how to get Varicad working ?

    did you try linking libqtr-mt to libqt3c102-mt? This is often a problem..
    good luck

    From the directory where is your libqt:

    sudo ln -s libqt3-mt libqt3c102-mt

    The name is probably libqt3-mt.so, so you have to add the .so in the above command to bovth libs
