I tried Librecad & Qcad when Draftsight stopped working, but neither would reliably open the drawings I had done previously with Draftsight.

I like the sound of LibreCad and wonder if anyone on this forum has used it Why not give it a go - it won't cost you anything and you do not have to sign up / register or any of that hassle, the rest of the ' Libre ' suite is excellent by the way if you haven't used any of them before! I can't personally comment on its limitations as I've never used it to its limits as I tend to prefer cutting metal to drawing. Hence it would be very difficult to pick up if you had no previous experience. The one down side is that documentation is quite limited and via Wiki. It works quite well for basic stuff and has a recognisable interface similar to other products. I like the sound of LibreCad and wonder if anyone on this forum has used it and would like to offer some comment on their experiences?

I don't want to fork out the $$$ for the full license, and AutoCadLT, while cheaper, may not have the functionality I am accustomed to, so I need something that will allow me to still access the collection of dwg files I have created over the years.

I've been a satisfied AutoCad 2016 user under an educational license (therefore free) but my eligibility for the free educational license has recently changed as I am no longer involved in teaching. It seems very strange to push out a 12 year old program in this way

It dates from 2008 - trying it under Wine sees it mostly install tho with a couple of failures - it does suggest that a more up to date version be loaded - it also requires an internet connection + email to register + receive an authorisation code - so up to you whether you want to risk it - I tried on my fairly safe + non-internet connected Linux running Wine 5 to see what happens if you try to recover from an error - it then seems to need access to an actual Win98 system disk.

George, If it downloaded try to run it in compatibility mode. got message 'this version will not work on this system' I am running WIN 10 Grade: devel # must be 'stable' to release into candidate/stable channelsĬonfinement: devmode # use 'strict' once you have the right plugs and slotsĭesktop: opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Resources/dassault-systemes_draftsight.I've just come across ProgeCAD Free, anyone know if it is any good?ĭownloaded.

With DraftSight, you can easily create professional CAD drawings. Your snap should build fine with something like: name: draftsight Last but not least, never use xdg-utils in stage-packages if you want xdg-open to work, the core snap (which is the context your snap gets executed in) ships an xdg-open implementation to allow you to open links, when you use xdg-utils in stage packages this will be overwritten and blocked by snapd… Ĭommand: opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSightĭesktop: opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Resources/dassault-systemes_sktop

desktop file lives in a different place than the one you point to … you should fix it like below. Looking at your snapcraft.yaml there seem to be other errors as well… the “command:” entry is relative to your snap so drop the $SNAP there … and the. Rm opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/WinOpenGL.txv Rm opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/K2GestureWidget.tx That said … it is unlikely this file exists anywhere on any target system where you would install the deb, so the snap wont need it either and you should be able to remove the symlink via a prepare snippet in your snapcraft.yaml like. This looks like a serious bug in the deb package and you should talk to upstream to fix it (a deb package should never link to something outside if this “outside” is not provided at least via a package dependency) …
