#Autocad

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Any autocad nerds out there, I could use an assist. Somehow, my polar snap is locked to X, but it moves objects on the Y, and I really need to be able to orthosnap. I have tried f8, f10, gone into options and looked for anything sus there. I tried autocad knowledge base, to no avail. Any/ all suggestions welcome.

Hallelujah! AutoCAD's DWG is a closed format that Linux CAD apps can't properly read. Well, there's apparently now a freeware Linux utility, ODA File Converter, that allows you to convert from DWG to DXF. Get the .appimage from here: opendesign.com/guestfiles/oda_

LibreCAD and other Linux apps I tested can now read these common files fine as DXF! A great solution for my brother too, who I recently converted to Linux too.

I don't understand why #QCad is not very popular in the Linux community. It has a free, GPL version that is way more put together than LibreCAD. In fact, LibreCAD is a fork of QCad from the late 2000s. QCad has way more features now, and most are free.

Sure, there's FreeCAD too, but that's more about 3D CAD, and it's more difficult to learn & use. QCad is a good starter 2D Cad/Cam, especially if you're coming from #AutoCAD 's UI.

Nicht nur Microsoft Office hat seine eigene wilde #Farbpalette, die sich auch immer Mal ändert [1], sondern auch die Oldschool #AutoCAD-Produkte [2]. Dort sind die Farben einfach durchnummeriert, sodass Übersetzungshilfe nötig ist. Ich habe das gebraucht um eine unternehmensinterne CAD-Layer-Vorgabe zu verstehen und in #Visio für ein technischen Schema umzusetzen.
