I would love to use LinuxCAD, but all my customers and subcontractors use AutoCAD, what should I do ?
LinuxCAD is compatible with AutoCAD ( including the latest AutoCAD versions ) via DXF and DWG formats. You should be able to exchange information with your peers without a problem. Still we recognize the problems that existing historically entrenched CAD software ( like AutoCAD ) creates for adoption of new software ( aka LinuxCAD ). Even if the later is less expensive and more advanced. To speed up the mass adoption of LinuxCAD we offer the following: When you purchase one copy of LinuxCAD at full price we will give you extra LinuxCAD CDs that you can send to your customers or subcontractors to use. For a minor fee you can also purchase the right to ship LinuxCAD to your customers every time you ship drawings. Therefore your customers will receive drawings and the program that can modify and view them together.
