I want to view and maybe print, or convert an autocad “.dwg” file from 2008 that I used to have when I was still on Windows. Does anyone know of free apps compatible with Manjaro for this?
freecad should fit your needs, but there are still a lot more avaiable.
Hi @Melahi ,
I wonder whether you can download the following appimage, in order to solve your problem.
‘ODA File Converter | Open Design Alliance’
I found it here:
‘FreeCAD and DWG Import - FreeCAD Documentation’
Also, you can install and try to do the task with this package from the AUR repository.
‘AUR (en) - libredwg-git’
Hope this help, regards.
Draftsight has very good compatibility. There’s a 2019 version in AUR. I think they stopped development of the Linux version. You also have BrisCAD in AUR (I never tried it). Honestly, I’ve been using CorelCAD in Wine for the last years, so I don’t know how FreedCAD import work currently, but it never fit my needs. I used Draftsight for a long time, then went for a Windows VM with AutoCAD for a while and ended up buying CorelCAD. dwg support under Linux have always been a problem.
