Install QCAD in Ubuntu To install QCAD in Ubuntu 14.04, download the RUN file from here, make it executable (chmod 755 qcad-3.6.4-linux-x86_64.run and replace the file with your version – 32-bit or 64-bit) and run it in a terminal: sudo. There are both 2D and 3D design capabilities, drawing, modifying and measurement tools, snapping, layers, grid and the obvious command-based interface. qcad01 QCAD has pretty much the same features I talked about in DraftSight. It has a free version, but saving to the latest DWG format is done via a paid, trial plugin (which can be disabled and DWG 2000 can be used instead). The command-based interface doesn’t seem to feature auto-complete: draftsight02 Saving to DWG 2013: draftsight03 Typical CAD commands for drawing, and also measurement and modify: draftsight04 Installing DraftSight in Ubuntu To install DraftSight in Ubuntu 14.04, download the DEB file from here, then either double-click it or type the following in a terminal to install it: sudo dpkg -i b Notice that it will be installed under /opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux, so to run it either create a launcher or type in a terminal: /opt/dassault-systemes/DraftSight/Linux/DraftSight QCAD QCAD is another Qt-based CAD application which has been around for years, being developed by RibbonSoft. One of the drawbacks at first glance is that commands are not auto-completed automatically, so you will have to enter the whole command name. DraftSight also has support for mouse gestures and interface customization. DraftSight can save your designs as DXF or DWG (up to the latest DWG 2013 format), and can export the drawing to PDF, JPG, PNG, SVG, EPS or TIF. ![]() DraftSight also comes with helpful tools like snap, grid or ortho. DraftSight is written in Qt and has a similar interface to AutoCAD for Windows: draftsight01 It comes with all the main functions and features needed to get you going: command-based interface, layers, formatting tools, drawing tools like line, arc, circle dimension measuring commands like trim, move, mirror or fillet. On the website you can find both the free and a paid, Pro version. DraftSight DraftSight is developed by Dassault Syst?mes, a French company specialized in CAD design. Although the alternatives on Linux may not be so powerful as AutoCAD, the two programs I will talk about here are free and have enough features to create 2D sample projects. ![]()
