CAD programs for FreeBSD

[cellini]

Are there any good CAD programs ported to FreeBSD? I tried cad/librecad, but some bug makes it impossible to write bigger numbers than 999.

I can't suggest any ports as I have no experience with them but you can run a pkg search -f cad to see what's available in the package repository and go from there.

Hi,

I work everyday with CAD (AutoCAD) but there is a really lack of CAD programs on Unix.
QCad and it's fork LibreCad are the only "good" programs.

Few years ago, I tried to port DraftSight (not open, but free) on FreeBSD, but missing Linux libraries. Maybe a day me or someone will port it.

Also, you can do multi line of 999 length and join them all.

bart,

Have you ever read Thread 45717?

I'm a Free Pascal developer and recently came across ZCAD, which is written with Lazarus (and compiled with the FPC compiler). I have no idea how good it is, but thought I would mention it either way.

cellini, you're probably already familiar with it, yet xfig satisfies my simple needs.

I used it to draw this and this.
