In my CAD class, the instructor requires explicitly AutoCAD because “that’s the industry standard.” As we know, AutoDork are a bunch pricks who refuses to get up from Microslop’s lap, so I am in a tight spot rn.
Should I use a VM to run or would ACAD Web do the trick? Honestly, I can even try to push my luck with another CAD program that supports .dwg files.
not related to AutoCAD, but in my linear algebra class that required to use MATLAB, I went with GNU octave and created a script to convert my native octave code to matlab code. try looking for an opensource one. I’m not familiar with acad but I assume there is a whole slue of open source software that does what AutoCAD does.
if you’ve searched and hadn’t found one that does as intended install wine and try and install .exe with that.
if all else fails just use virtualbox and install windows. its not ideal but it does work!
Hi, thanks for the tip for MATLAB! It’ll become useful in the next semester.
As for the AutoCAD, QEMU/KVM running on virt-manager did the trick for me.
