[aclug-L] Re: 3D CAD program for linux

[bruce bales <bbales@xxxxxxx>]

Jesse.
We had a fellow on the ACLUG list who was pushing cad on linux until 
about a year ago (or maybe he is still lurking out there).  His email is 
 phrostie <pfrostie@xxxxxxxxx>

He has a cad page at  http://pfrostie.freeservers.com/cad-tastrafy/ and 
references another at
http://www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/webpage?webpage_id=cad-linux

I used Windows Autocad for a few years and tried Varicad with Linux 
until the free trial version ran out.  It isn't Autocad, but is pretty 
close.  The price wouldn't be bad for some company, (I think about $300) 
but was more than I could justify for just my home use.

They are at www.varicad.com  You might look at it.
