I recall that recently someone on the list was looking for a native Linux CAD package. I found this list ( http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html ) that may be beneficial. Being in the engineering business, I would be interested in hearing about anyone's past or future experiences with any of these programs. I did notice that 1) there are a LOT of projects out there, and 2) quite a number of them are in the "planning" stage which indicates an area of high interest and high activity in the Linux community. If an application comparable to AutoCad and MicroStation were to come upon the Linux scene, a HUGE market for "Linux on the desktop" would open up. We are an engineering firm of approximately 500 employees of which probably 80% have one of the above CAD packages on their desktop at probably somewhere between $1,500 and $3,000 per seat.
