Have you considered linuxCAD? It doesn't look pretty, but it claims
complete support for DWG and DXF import and export. Only $99.

Windows Terminal Server works great with LTSP. If you have citrix

There is a Win9x based 2D CAD package called CadStd at
http://www.cadstd.com
I have found it to be a great high school level 2D package. There are free
downloads and the pro version is $15.00 I think. I haven't run it under Wine
but plan to try soon.

We've tried to move to 3D, but it always ends up

Hello List,
After reading the posts on CAD by a handful of people, I start to
think of what best solutions can LTSP and Linux come to.
I have tried QCad which reads only DXF file type. Someone also posted
