Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet)Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet)Posted Jun 25, 2004 12:29 UTC (Fri) by busterb (subscriber, #560)In reply to: Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet) by douglane Parent article: Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet) According to this article, Solidworks might be first. In the CAD arena, several established software makers are already offering Linux versions, and others have announced that they are under consideration or development. They include Pro/Engineer and SolidWorks. SolidWorks have also ported Macsyma maths software and a 3D Java viewer to Linux. Spatial Technology, developer of the widely used ACIS solid-modeling kernel, has announced a release of the kernel written for Linux, which will facilitate several CAD systems moving onto Linux. Bentley has a Linux version of MicroStation under development.

The problem is that SolidWorks and ProE are 3D CAD more for Mechanical/Aerospace engineering than Civil/Architectural work. There is where AutoCAD still reigns. However it should be easier to do a 2D CAD program than a 3D one. In particular a parametric 3D program.
