Is there any free CAD software in linux to view and take printout of
autocad file.
This is a major area where free software is lacking. Perhaps we
people at
IIT Madras can start a project for a free software replacement of
AutoCAD?
The expertise of our departments in engineering, and in
programming, should
be sufficient. Also, The central government will be willing to fund
it.
the central govt has funded a cad software made by NIC, it runs on
linux and is made with freesoftware tools - but it is not free. It is
very good - but the gov expects nic to sell it and make money from
it. Ive forgotten the name, but we have a copy in nrc-foss
