not interest in that depth of hobbying, just really want to produce simple stuff that can rotate & look inside of. Thank you all for your replies, it looks like I'll be with LibreCAD to start with, I eventually managed to download DraftSight after a few attempts, however although it appears as an 457MB installed program in the 'Package Manager' and is listed in the 'Applications' window it won't launch so I can't do anything with it.Īs an old duffer close to 70 I am intrigued by those that have the nouse to produce cad drawings in 2D/3D I am looking at getting into this just for my own interest, not for CNC machining etc. Both Solid Edge and Autocad Fusion 360 are Windoze only. Best of all, remarkably, for hobbyists, students, and small businesses (<100k/yr), its absolutely free. It's a fully parametric 3D CAD system with animation, rendering, and built-in CAM processor (the same one that Solidworks charges an arm and a leg for). It is totally free and has a much more friendly user interface than DraftSight.Īnd don't forget Autodesk's Fusion 360.

I am not sure I would agree with John though about it being "crippled" as the only professional feature I would really miss for modelling projects is attaching PDF underlays. Having used AutoCAD for the last 20 years, I have been trying DraftSight Free on W10, and as Russell says it feels very familiar. Perhaps because I had been used to using Autocad at work since the 1980s. I tried LibreCAD some time ago but found the user interface to be rather poor in comparison. It looks and feels just like an earlier version of Autocad and it can read and write Autocad. If you are familiar with Autocad you will find the user interface to be very familiar. I think it is put in the Graphics (non free) section of the package manager as it is not open source. There is a "Pro" version which is paid for but I haven't trie it. I've been using Draftsight on Linux for several years now and can confirm that it is totally free. Thanks for that John, I've just looked and found I have LibreCAD already installed, I just hadn't looked hard enough, I'll have a go at it. Googling Linux 3D cad will probably bring that up, same for 2d packages. There are a lot of snap options.įor 3D the best offer at the moment is probably FreeCAD. I do like the way it handles a mix of mouse and keyboard control. As it is clicking on the modify button will bring up a series of buttons that can modify all sorts of things, Lines and circles etc are done the same way. Some people are trying to persuade then to give an all buttons on display option. They have done it this way so that it can be used on small screens. The only thing I am not keen on is buttons under buttons. I've asked 2 questions on it's forum and both were answered on it's forum. Not tried it yet but it has a copy, rotate, n times feature under the modify button.

I couldn't see how to draw things on a pcd. It opens set like that for people that want to draw with the keyboard using co ordinates and sums etc. The current reference point moved with what ever I drew. I've looked at some Linux 2D cad packages. Not being open source might influence installs as well. This sometimes means that the free one is crippled some how but they don't seem to give any details of the differences on their web site.

They provide a version for free and charge for another.

I have a copy of Autodesk Inventor on an old XP machine, however as I'm now using Linux on my main PC I thought I would try DraftSight, I went on the website and chose what was listed as a free download, it downloaded but when I went to install it found it had been put in the Package Manager 'Graphics (non free)' section, has anyone else had this problem, if it is a problem at all?Īccording to Drafysights website it isn't exactly free.
