ReMark Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I asked the same question early this year and no one was doing it at the time. I never had time to pursue it myself. What version are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulumara Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 I had AutoCad 2006 and Solidworks 2003 I was thinking loading it to Linux but there's no answer that It can loaded and it will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zars Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Wine (Windows emulator) has a list of the software that can run, search for it and you will see. Last time I checked it was not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pefi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Wine - Wine Is Not Emulator! ;-) Some info about AutoCAD running (or not) under Wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=86 and here: http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=1227&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Przemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer, no. The one major hurdle for linux, no major CAD application. They do have XSI Softimage and Maya but lacking in a "real" CAD program IMHO.

pefi Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Anyone tried this? http://brlcad.org/ Przemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Anyone tried this? http://brlcad.org/ Przemo Downloading as I type. It looks to have setup for Win, Irix, Linux, Solaris and Mac. I will boot up a linux box and try it there as well. Maybe on my OSX box too. Thanks for the link Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pefi Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi, Is it worth to try? Przemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I would have to say, no. I installed it and gave it my "5 minute test". I give all software I try 5 minutes to try to see if I can make heads or tails of it. I do not read the help files or the manual. I see if I can draw, move, change views and just navigate in general. This one failed pretty bad to me. You can try but to me it seemed just unusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pefi Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'll have to give it a try. Microstation v8 was "unusable" for the first 2 weeks and than it seems to be better than AutoCAD (no flame wars please, it's just my opinion).

rustysilo Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Or PythonCAD, but I believe it is only 2D thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
