It supports both import and export of DXF and DWG files. The developers have been at this for over 10 years, and are very good at implementing user suggestions into major and minor releases.ġ) Install wine-doors via built-in software installer (enter wine in search box to find it).Ģ) Run wine-doors from Menu/System Tools/ģ) Select install from CD under File tab.Ĥ) You'll get an error about not finding the install file, ignore this and select the DeltaCad.exe file on the CD, then select RUN (during installation allow it to put a program shortcut on the desktop).ĥ) Right click on the desktop shortcut, select properties, select the permissions tab, check the box "allow executing file as program".Ħ) Double click the shortcut (which should now look like a green drafting square), and you should be up and running. Note: You will be required to enter the Authorization Code that was sent to you after you purchased the software during the 1st part of the installation. So far it appears to work just fine for me, and I even installed the latest DeltaCad patch (via wine-doors) without any problems. Note: - Just discovered that DeltaCad 7 doesn't work reliably under wine doors in Isadora. They have a 45 day demo for download at: Drawings load fine, but when moving the mouse over objects, trails are left behind (a series of dots), and then it crashes the system back to the boot screen. I have been a Registered Architect in the US (and a few other countries) over the past 35 years. I bought my first PC in 1984 and used AutoCAD with MS Windows for many years, before switching over to Apple/Mac.Īs of about 2 years ago. I use GNU/Linux and Open Source exclusively for my work and home. I broke out and for a while fought the system by not using AutoCAD. as in the US, AutoCAD is the true and only complete Architectural program accepted by the professional community. I mainly use an Open Source program called Archimedes CAD (for Linux). and I also, use QCad as a back up.Īlso, use Blender for my renderings, as Blender is capable of 3D to a vanishing-point, for awesome Orthographic Projections. Granted neither Archimedes or QCad are as mature as AutoCAD for architectural proposes, but the developers of Archimedes and Open Source, in general, are making vast and quick strides to catch-up with Windows and Mac and the AutoCAD market.
