Title: Computer aided design on Ubuntu
Post by: mahesh on Dec 14, 2023, 06:44 AM
I'm a newbie in the world of computer aided design, but I am trying to design and build a battlebot and I figure this might be a project where I can get my fingers caddy.

I want something free (as in beer) - that's right, I'm a freeloader  I was thinking of using the Windows version of SketchUp on the Windows 7 part of my computer. But then I thought: I use Ubuntu for just about every other computer-related activity, why not use an Ubuntu-compatible "CAD" thing? I looked at the Ubuntu Software Centre (yuck!) and found 3 apps that might be applicable - LibreCAD, PyCAD and SagCAD.

So here I am, asking for suggestions as to which might be most suitable. Please bear in mind: I am a newbie to the world of Computer Aided Design, and right now the only project I am thinking about is the design of a/some battlebot(s).

Any suggestions? All are welcome. Cheers!
