#Draftsight for windows xp full version

I use it non stop (I also purchased full version of Netfabb Studio Professional – windows only so far – ~1000$ that kicks ass for manipulating stl’s) There is also Netfabb Studio – free version (basic) runs naively on linux and is *the best* tool for repairing STL files out there.

Natively there’s varicad, works like a charm, real cad app, not too expensive (~800$ iirc), trial available, I suggest you give it a try. it supposed to work and I seen some nice stuff made with it only, I never managed to make with it more then a cube.

I use openSCAD for lot of my reprap work (you write a scad code that represents the object and it renders you the object and export as number of different 3d formats) but it is really a txt processor that renders the 3d file nothing more … HeeksCAD is the most useful one but still far from being comparable to commercial tools (even free ones like CoCreate). There’s that great SCAD library for linux (open source) that is used by number of apps. I did some modeling for reprap in AoI and it can be done, especially as scripting is super easy, but it really lack the features regular cad tools have. For modeling there are Blender and AoI that are serious tools, very usable etc etc, but I can’t call them cad tools. Nick, ah I was not thinking of you when I said inkscape is not cad, just ppl often like to call it that hence I was trying to prevent something :D :D :DĢd, well, I can’t be overly confident but qcad satisfies 99% of what I need for 2d, and the 1% left can be done with DraftSight hence I think we are covered with native apps on Linux for 2d.įor 3d it really depends. (My AAO D250 running Ubuntu Studio boots faster than my Dual core 3 Ghz running XP)ĬAD is one of the (few) reasons why i still have use for windows. I even have a licensed version of R14 of autocad on windows. My major gripe with autocad was with compatibility on unix as i mentioned above. It took me barely an hour to replicate an existing drawing of a CNC machine i made plans for, on loose usage of the term “open source” from my end.īut the point is productivity/ease-of-use/time-to-deploy no more is measured by $$$ on linux. It might not be the best one out there but it definitely has its own niche there. I do not have any idea about paid s/w like qcad.Īutocad withdrew native unix support in its early releases itself.ĭraftsight works just fine for my purposes. Used to have a dual-boot setup just for cad support on windows.īeing used to autocad and solidworks i found it hard to “adjust” to the cad softwares available on linux
