Bricscad for Linux alpha 10.3.3

Tijs Vermeulen · January 2010

Hello everyone,

a next Bricscad for linux alpha has become available from the usual location:

http://www.bricsys.com/open/common/download.jsp?p=B4L&l=en_US&site=1

- It is now possible to save a dwg.

- Temporary graphics have been improved. It is now possible to display trackers and osnap markers.

- A partial version of the lisp engine has been added.

Kind Regards

Tijs

Hi, good job ! :-)

Still some issues, just tested 5 minutes :

1) 3d drawings are NOT displayed correctly.... I guess the engine is still not there ?

2) Some crashes here and there

3) On launch didn't find the support path, so it didn't load menu. Loading manually works.

4) Didn't get fonts... maybe because of point 3.

5) Slow/hangs on large drawings. Also display scrolling slows down on complex drawing, but still usable.

Ciao

Max

I am so happy one step closer for release

I am test it right now

Alexey Kozlov · January 2010

Just a good work!

1) Fonts loads only from basedir, that's normal for alpha, that's good for alpha, because they are loading!

2) Saving... M-m-m, I'll give that version to one of our designer, may be later we will describe some bugs.:)))

3) Printing...We are waiting for it...

4) Saving as... It can be instead of printing, of course, but it is not work.

This is excellent,

on my Xubuntu 9.10 and debian 5 it works, (alpha but works)

and it look beautifull

Cielito Lindo · January 2010

Good morning.
Some information on the testing today.
By clicking "hatch" no hatch is shown. If I choose "gradient" and then pass the tab "hatch" Bricscad crashes and releases this output:

GLib:ERROR:gmain.c:1963:g_main_dispatch: assertion failed: (current->dispatching_sources == &current_source_link)

Cudos. I still cannot believe that you are moving on so fast. Two weeks ago the usual interface was almost not present, now it's there.

A suggestion. Could you please make a thread for Alpha version announcments, which should be used ONLY for announcing (no user comments there, not forced, simply stated). So I could subscribe the thread and get information early. If you do so, please continue to make these threads as the current one for user feedback.

Bradley Hake · January 2010

It looks absolutely LOVELY!

and it's FAST. (some of that is probably going to go away as more of the modules are brought up, connected in, and made to work)

I had to do some work on AutoCAD in XP yesterday - same machine - and all I did was wait and wait and wait.

This product is going to be absolutely BRILLIANT!! May the customers come flocking.

Graphics very slow. The file 16Mb - to work difficult.

It's not possible to attach images (snapshots) to this forum?

If draw a line, then finish the line with enter or space, wait a second, then move the cursor and have two cursor on the screen. Only one moves.

Shun-Hsiang Hsiao · February 2010

Hello,

I am a Linux novice, Can anybody tell me how to install Bricscad for Linux?

Thank's

Andrey Didencool · February 2010

you should know some about file system structure in unix

depend at your knowledge, you will understand my answer or not.

my distribution is opensuse but afaik same for fedora, debian and ubuntu

It can be installed in /opt (normally most distributions)

Personnaly I prefered install all my alien(not from distrubution) stuff in my local directory

so I have an bin directory in my home directory

/home/<myusername>/bin

you can make your BricsCAD directory with command:

mkdir

(man mkdir give you aditional help about mkdir command)

~>mkdir -p /home/<yourUserName>/bin/BricsCAD

then you should unzip your archive in this directory

~>unzip BricscadForLinux-10.3.3-1-en_US.zip -d /home/<yourUserName>/bin/BricsCAD

<the end> installation complite

to run BricsCAD

you should change directory <WhereYoUnzipIt>

~>cd /home/<yourUserName>/bin/BricsCAD

and run script

BricsCAD>sh ./bricscad.sh

!it is important that BricsCAD should run from directory where it unziped

global path to BricsCAD directory will not work if you run from another location

so if you change ddirectory to root and run with all path

/>sh /home/<yourUserName>/bin/BricsCAD/bricscad.sh

this does not work because of script

~> cat bricscad.sh

#!/bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`

exec ./bricscad $*

you can change it

#!/bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`/home/<yourUserName>/bin/BricsCAD`

exec '/home/<yourUserName>/bin/BricsCAD/bricscad $*'

now it sould work from any location. So you can make symlink to shell script and put it to known path and now it will run as any normal program

~>sudo ln -s /home/<yourUserName>/bin/BricsCAD/bricscad.sh /usr/bin/brickscad

now you can use Alt+F2 in gnome or KDE type bricscad and BricsCAD sould work for you

Andrey Didencool · February 2010

and as for test

so now all important things work thank you.

and as for priority

#1 dimensioning

#2 lisp

#3 printing

good work thank you guys

Andrey Didencool · February 2010

sory for triple posting I remember 2 more minor problems

They was allready discussed.

1. keyboard not work as I expect for Delete, F1-F12 keys

2. looks like ttf fonts does not supported yet

Maximiliano Meilan · February 2010

Confirm Delete from keyboard and F1-F12 don't work (have spanish keyboard and Ubuntu 9.04)

Very east to install under Ubuntu, just double click to the downloaded file, extract all the files to a folder, and double click to the file "bricscad.sh"

Bricscad runs very fast!!!

luis miguel Pinto Gonçalves · February 2010

Very good improvements. Seems promising!

Bricscad is very fast with ubuntu 9.10 64 bits. Interface is beautiful.

Waiting for next alpha snapshot and after some desappointments I'm now confident about a working native linux Bricscad in a near future.

Congratulations.

Cameron Hutchison · February 2010

Fires up on my Gentoo 64 bit box. Panning and zooming working well. Keep up the great work!

Shun-Hsiang Hsiao · February 2010

I got the errormessage when I run the script:

eror while loadin shared libraries: libjpeg.so.61: can not open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Andrey Didencool · February 2010

can you be so glad to explain what you are doing? and in this case maybe we can help you more.

Rémi Paccou · February 2010

I had this problem

Resolved by installing the 32bits libraries on my ubuntu

sudo aptitude install linux32 ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk

Shun-Hsiang Hsiao · February 2010

There are my procedure:

1. mkdir -p /home/<yourUserName>/bin/Bricscad

2. unzip BricscadForLinux-10.3.3-1-en_US.zip -d /home/<yourUserName>/bin/Bricscad

3. Modify bricscad.sh

4. Run sctipt

I can not install the 32bits libraries on my Mandriva.

Shun-Hsiang Hsiao · February 2010

On my Fedora and Ubunto it works, but Mandriva still don't works.

Cielito Lindo · February 2010

Good morning everyone. I have a problem. My files are on a windows sever (windows server 2003 R2). My Fedora 12 is regularly on the network and can access the server via nautilus and using the Linux program. But if I open Bricscad not shows me the network mounted partition. So I can not open files that are on the server. I can not even tell Fedora to open *. dwg with Bricscad. How can I solve this problem. It 'a very important thing for me. Thank you all for your patience.

Andrey Didencool · February 2010

2Shun-Hsiang Hsiao
it will be very good if you give a log from running

sh bricscad.sh

>On my Fedora and Ubunto it works, but Mandriva still don't works.

little bit confused about that

2Cielito Lindo

very strange

> My files are on a windows sever (windows server 2003 R2). My Fedora 12 is regularly on the network and can access the server via nautilus and using the Linux program.

khm... ok

you should look at smbmount

man smbmount

Personally I prefered linux server with nfs, ftp or smth different from samba. But that is your option it can be done.

>I can not even tell Fedora to open *. dwg with Bricscad

I am not sure that this is depends on distribution. But Desktop Environment does, or better say file manager, that you use.

I prefered KDE4

in systemsettings you can choose "aditional" tab, and choose "file type" (name can differ couse I have different language)

there you can choose dwg file extension (I have it in image section) and here I can add application to run with. right now I have it automatic with wine Bricscad.

I am pretty sure you also can do this with gnome.

Sergio Bouso Palomero · February 2010

Nice work guys, have plans to build a native 64bits?

Bernhard Karl Bachner · February 2010

Hello everyone,

I tired to run it on openSuSE 11.2. After launching the script, I got the following message:

(bricscad:6525): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_depth: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed
drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. See dmesg for more info.

I don't know, where to find anything helpful for locating the problem in the output of dmesg. uname -a says:

Linux n0908a34 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-12-15 23:55:40 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can anyone help?

Bernhard Karl Bachner · February 2010

Hello again,

I have forgotten to mention that the installation of

libxerces-c-3_0

did not solve the problem. The message is still the same.

Andrey Didencool · February 2010

@Bernhard Karl Bachner

did you change directory to bricscad before run bricscad.sh script?

I alo use opensuse 11.2 (x86-64) no problem here.

Bernhard Karl Bachner · February 2010

@Andrey Didencool

thank you for your reply. Yes, the current directory is that one, where the shell script and all the shared object libraries are located. After work I will try it at home with fedora FC12 again. I'll see, what's possible there.

Bernhard Karl Bachner · February 2010

On my notebook at home it works well with fedora FC12. I don't stand waiting for the release ;-).

Andrey Didencool · February 2010

@Bernhard Karl Bachner

happy for you, and good luck:)

@all|devs
