<APOLOGIST MODE> Intellicad is. Bricscad and Progesoft have/are porting it to Linux using Wine. Still a little buggy though, a native port would be so much better than Wine, but I doubt it was written for portability.</APOLOGIST MODE>
Thank you. You've just proven my point. You offer up an alternative that is NOT an alternative at all. It does not work the same way as AutoCad, doesn't always handle AutoCad files reliably, and requires all sorts of special effort with Wine to make it run at all! But, then you go on to excuse it by saying that it wasn't written for portability.
Do you not realize what you are saying? Do you not see that you just went out of your way to justify an inappropriate solution to yourself? You're lying to yourself!
