Helloi'm an architectural student and i have the license academy of bricscad , i'm running under Ubuntu linux 20.04.2LTS and i'm experiencing a really poor drawing performance , whenever i draw a polyline or just a simple line the UI start to flicker and it's hard to move the line ...
i don't have a top of the line computer but it's enough to make simple 2d drawings
I too have noticed this performance issue when zooming once a command (line or dimensioning) is active. My hardware is fairly high-end so its not your hardware.
I'm also using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and frequently get crashes and shutdowns when window selecting.
Would be interested to hear supports response.
AutoCAD in Linux? Linux is a problem platform for CAD software - it is a moving target, too fragmented and inconsistent. My guess is BricsCAD on Linux will be abandoned some time in the future and moved to the cloud.
i don't see how Linux is a bad platform for CAD softwares , it offer great performances and it's OpenSource the CPU and Memory handling are way better in Linux compared to windows , the only thing that can cause a problem in Linux is Graphics and especially Nvidia since their drivers are Not Open source but they are improving it over the years
O, yes! Been hearing and reading this for the last 20 years. But the reality is exactly opposite - old CAD doesn't port to Linux, but moving to the Cloud, new software is either Windows/Mac or cloud based - OnShape, Fusion 360, AutoCAD Web App, etc. Or maybe You are speaking from experience as a CAD developer on Linux and I'm totally wrong?
You have a good point i'm not gonna lie , but i speak as as some one who used to port Games into linux before the proton API emerge and i noticed that some Games handle better in linux due to their Architecture , i understand that Linux porting is one scary thing for all company's but i really hope that it will become a standard because the community is really great and helpful and the system offer so much possibilities but as i said big company's like NVIDIA need to offer the full support that the OS deserve , and here a question , when was the last time that Linux kernel crashed for you ? my computer is running for days without any Problem or noticeable change in performance
Varicad is very good Mechanical Drafting software. I have been a fan for 10 years or so. Windows and Linux versions are available. It has some very good design tools for creating springs, shafts and other mechanical parts. Both 2d and 3d Fastener Library is included. It is created for serious drafting - not so much hobby drawing. License cost is reasonable, and there is a learning curve. It works well on Opensuse, Mandriva and Windows.
Re Lisp etc.
True it does not have that feature. But it is a very strong, solid modeler. It will take a while for Bricscad to develope this on the Linux Desktop. For now at least Bricscad is a very good 2d Autocad Clone. The Varicad solid modeling engine has been used and updated over the last 10 years. I like both. We now have some very strong Cad offerings becoming available.
Draftsight for linux is not there yet. Dassault systems say the 2D version will be free (but not open). I also heard from someone that Autodesk purchased Dassault, if so Draftsight for linux may not happen.
The latest incarnation of Bricscad on Linux has a very useful - export to svg - feature. In addition to its export to pdf, the software is becoming a powerful tool in the Linux domain. Currently running on Mandriva and Opensuse. All power to them.
Pour supprimer cette application, il suffit de supprimer le paquet bricscadv16. Selon la mthode choisie, le configuration globale de l'application est conserve ou supprime. Les journaux du systme, et les fichiers de prfrence des utilisateurs dans leurs dossiers personnels sont toujours conservs.
I have tried exploding a few regions in bricscad and it would seem like the curves defining the positive part are always wound counter-clockwise, while the negative ones wind clockwise. However I cannot find any confirmation in the documentation that this will always be the case.
