I've heard some complaints in the past about the lack of a CAD programs for Linux. The following is the release of the first CAD for Linux that I'm aware of. dentonj ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 09:41:04 +0100 From: BricsCad BackOffice <backoffice2@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: dentonj@xxxxxxxx Subject: BricsCAD goes Linux BricsCad, the market leader in low cost DWG CAD software, today announced the beta release of BricsCad for Linux. The product is based on the IntelliCAD kernel. BricCad for Linux is an "almost clone" of AutoCAD(r). BricsCad uses the exact same DWG drawing format as AutoCAD(r). Drawings made by BricsCad can be read by AutoCAD(r) and the other way round. BricsCad for Linux addresses the untapped group of individual and corporate professional CAD users in the LINUX community allowing them to use their operating system of choice without being locked out from the professional Engineering world and the DWG standard.
