    Re: CAD for Linux

    Ohh, QCAD looks sweet, thanks for mentioning it!

    I am currently downloading it through Synpatic in Breezy, when it's done, I shall tell you guys how it works. In fact, it might even be available through the add/remove applications thingie in Breezy . . .

    Ok, I just finished installing it, QCad is available through Synaptic. I haven't a clue how to use it, but I think some time and trial and error will solve that . . .

    Proud to be Canadian, eh?

    there is one running on solaris (might work with other nixes): CADDS

    CATIA just ended support for Unix (HP Solaris, no linux) systems with V5r15.
    They are going windows only from now on.


    I do have it running under VmWare however it leaves something to be desired.

    This is one of those cases that I had to build a windows box to run it along with all the bells & whistles of the ultimate gamming machine, that was fun....


    There really is nothing as far as CAD for linux that can be used in a production environment, simple, very simple tasks yes.




    Wish there was a better answer

    for professional grade CAD and meshing software you should take a look at OpenCascade and Salome-Platform. fully compatible with linux and backed by industrial consortia for good measure. They work very well and compare quite favorably with proprietary stuff. There's also BRL-CAD (US army product) which has a flavor of its own.

    Same as Unigraphics are ending Unix support, such a shame as I have used the package in VMS, Unix and Windows and in all environments it was comparable and equally capable. Have used Catia, Inventor and ProE in Windows only and wish that they would back track to *nix.

    Personaly Im not a great fan of QCAD, but am still in the process of testing others. Im studing to be arch technologist, so if any of you are one or an architect please tell me if you have found a good tool for making blue prints and 3d renderings of both interiors and exterirors of buildings.

    One good thing about the new V5r16, it has native 64 bit support, really snappy for those big projects, It uses half the memory.

    Sweet
