LinuxCAD now represents a complete computer aided design program for Linux ... it is a complete replacement for AutoCAD. For any practical purpose, it implements all major features of AutoCAD in such a way that experienced AutoCAD users do not need additional training to start working with LinuxCAD. Linux users who are new to CAD will find our Users Manual an easy way to learn the CAD trade. There is so much similarity between LinuxCAD and Auto

Here is a list of just a few distinguished features of the LinuxCAD Computer Aided Design System: All commonly used commands of Acad for 2D and 3D drafting, editing and displaying are implemented in LinuxCAD exactly as they are in Acad ( including but not limited to: LINE, POLYLINE, CIRCLE, ARC, RECTANGLE, SOLID, POINT, TRACE, DONUT, TEXT, ELLIPSE, TRIM, BREAK, EXTEND, OFFSET, COPY, MOVE, ROTATE, SCALE, MIRROR, INSERT, CHANGE, CHPROP, ARRAY, BLOCK, ATTDEF, EXPLODE, WBLOCK, PURGE, ZOOM, PAN, BREAK, CHAMFER, FILLET, HATCH, STRETCH, ... and many others) they are all there in LinuxCAD. And they work exactly the same way; even the overwhelming majority of messages are the same or almost the same. You may keep using all of the Acad-skills you have. There is no need to relearn !!! Extensive symbol libraries. LinuxCAD supports DXF, DWG(version 10 only), DXS, SLD, SHX graphics format of Acad. sophisticated entity selection mechanism (Select objects: with all the standard modes of selection set creation like: Add, Remove, Window, Crossing) object oriented entity and object attachment mechanism ( includes Nearest, Midpoint, Center, Intersection, Tangent, Perpendicular and others) support for fonts in SHX and True Typeformats, all text creation modes of Acad supported, including true fit text creation mode DVIEW command for 3D can change the location of the camera and target in interactive mode. It works very simply: you select the objects and then adjust the observer position. The 3D view in the current viewport will change accordingly. allows drawing with virtually any color as a combination of RGB values user programmable menus EXPORT OF THE DRAWINGS TO POSTSCRIPT either as Black and White or Color and the postscript output can be easily customized using command dialogs and OS environment variables PRINTING OF THE DRAWINGS TO MS-Windows Printserver variety of drawing entities: lines, circles, traces, solids, arcs, ellipses and polylines easy to use GUI comman.
