CAD & Linux: The LUnIx Linux CAD/3d Utilities Links

presented by Tech-EDV


Short link: 058030
Here we put together a list of additional CAD/3d Utilities. These tools are not intended to create interactively 2d or 3d geomentry, but they may be used for viewing, work in batch mode or provide other usefull tools for 2d and 3d cad environments.

We also have a LUnIx CAD links with links to CAD sytems for Linux and Modelers-Links with 3d modelling product links.

You may use our Software Report Page to inform us about news, errors or changes.
