So much junk that Autodesk has licensed several of their technologies now, and a cross-license has been signed. Visio bought IntelliCAD, Microsoft bought Visio, Microsoft killed it off, and Autodesk adopted VBScript and dropped all non-Windows versions. Then Microsoft started the IntelliCAD consortium and a bunch of guys from Europe licensed it and started improving upon it. And they make it WINE compatible -- including full OpenGL acceleration.
Of course, those of us in the CAM world don't use AutoCAD or slap-ons to it. We use the _premier_ platform for Pro/E, UG, etc...

Yes, I know that those in the CAM world use Pro-E. Those of use who are not, use AutoCad-LT. The difference is about $15000. Or so. If you are suggesting that AC/LT is now available for Linux, or will run on WINE, I will certainly check it out. --dm -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
