The only thing it doesn't have OOTB is foreign 3D model import/export (CATIA, STEP, IGES, etc.), that require the communicator plugin.

I'm running the Platinum version, that deals with 2D, 3D, sheet metal, 2D and 3D constraints, DB, BIM, PDF import/export and a lot of other features. It improved markedly, and is a real alternative.įor 2D only there's the classic version, for 2D/3D the Pro version. I've been using it professionally since version 10 (it's on 16 now). That would be BricsCAD, but you have to pay for it, although much less than you'd pay for AutoCAD. I wonder if in openSUSE Leap 42.1 if it has improved.

It is a good free cad application, but I find it to slow and have mouse problems dealing I use draftsight before in previous versions of openSUSE.

You will be asked 'Do you want to continue? (y/N)' respond with 'y'. Save the file and exit - this uses the 'ZZ' command. This will bring up a 'vi' based edit window.Ĭhange 'Requires: libaudio.so.2' to 'Requires: libaudio2'Ĭhange 'Requires: libGLU.so.1' to 'Requires: libGLU1' Install rpmrebuild from openSuse main repository (OSS) Install libGLU1 from openSuse main repository (OSS) Install libaudio2 from packman repository.
