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.

Hej,
Dont know what inventor is for version of AutoCad
But I gues the most comon Cad program, that is free, is qcad
howwever qcad only handles dxf files, not dwg. You can install qcad directly with synaptic.
There are some other profesional (comercial) cad versions.
Perhaps you find some suitable at http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html

ok, I tried install varicad.
But i get these two errors when I do a dpkg -i varicad.deb or whatever
Unpacking varicad2005-en (from varicad2005-en_2.00-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of varicad2005-en:
varicad2005-en depends on kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.3.2-6.3); however:
Package kdelibs4 is not installed.
varicad2005-en depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4); however:
Package libqt3c102-mt is not installed.
dpkg: error processing varicad2005-en (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
varicad2005-en
But I already have libqt-mt and kdelibs4 installed.
and here are the lists of availabe linux platforms to download from.
Fedora Core, RedHat EL, SUSE, Mandriva, Debian
Hej,
It apears that Varicad is a Qt application (for the KDE desktop, not Gnome)
I have tried installing other program that are Qt applications on my Ubuntu 5.10
without sucess. I'm just trying to get some help for this at another forum threads.
I also need libqt3c102-mt but I dont now how to get it !
I prefer gnome (Ubuntu) and dont whish to switch to KDE (Kubuntu), but perhaps there is a way to have both systems installed - were you can make a choice
at the log-in screen ?

You can just install the KDE desktop from Synaptic and then you will have all the libraries necessary to run KDE apps. You are right that you will be able to log into KDE from the login screen but you don't really need to do this. The program will run as long as it can find the KDE libraries.
I'm gonna bump this because I'm curious too.
Also, Autodesk Inventor is not a normal CAD program like the ones that are being suggested (tried out qcad, pretty nice). Inventor is all 3D and relatively easy to use. Another comparable Windows app is Solidworks.
Are there any linux apps with similar functionality? thanks.
Bump!
I am a 3rd year Mechanica Engineering Student and I am really interested in finding out if there are any SolidWorks comparible apps for Linux out there already?
PTC pro/engineer, one of the market leaders in the medium-end to high-end solid modeling market (together with CATIA, UGS and SW) and my personal favorite, has a native linux port. It runs flawlessly on debian/ubuntu...
I did extensive testing but our management has a corporate policy to stay on win32 platform for the moment
Cheers,
Frederic
There is also BRL-CAD, http://brlcad.org/
