If solid modeling isn't important, there's always QCAD.  The fully open source 
version is included in Fedora, but it's a version behind the 'pro' version that 
costs a little bit.

Just another option; I've used QCAD for a while and like it, but it is 
definitely 2D only.

Ogg: Re: Using Draftsight on a 64 bit system

 Is anybody running on a 64 
bit
 system??

I am...


 What are the tricks to follow??

like 
what?, cos all you really need to figure out is if your programs
have a 64bit 
version...


 Tnx





Are you using Draftsight (that is 32 bit 
application) on your 64 bit system??

I tried DraftSight many months ago while I was still running Fedora 14
x86_64 but never got it to run.

I'm working on packaging FreeCAD[1]*** on RPM Fusion, however, it's a
full solid modeling CAD, not just 2D. I'd be interested in
beta-testers though.

*** Disclaimer: While FreeCAD itself it GPLv2+/LGPLv2+ licensed, it
uses OpenCascasde which is non-free due to it's license, so FreeCAD
if/when approved will have to go into the RPM Fusion non-free
repository.

I'm running Draftsight on F14 x86_64 now; it seems to work fine.  I don't 
recall having to do anything particularly special, but it has been a while 
since I installed it.

I didn't spend too much time trying to get it to work, it was probably
some 32-bit library I was missing. I decided that using an open source
program like FreeCAD which includes solid modeling (even if it uses
some non-free components) is still better than using something
completely proprietary.

you can also do ldd $(which draftsight) and see the missing libraries.
Then do sudo yum whatprovides for each missing lib.
