Because lot of developer send there plans in .dwf format and I must use Free DWG viewer by Bravia with wine. (for linux I m do not seeing anything else)

But viewing is to slowly without acceleration.

Graebert GmbH with his ARES CAD make version for Linux with DWF reading.

 

Thank for answer.

    Bricscad (Alpha) open dwg files. It's VERY fast.

    Hello Dusan,

    I hope that you won't mind my blogging about your troubles.

    You can read it here if you're interested. I'll keep you informed if anyone comes forward with a solution in my blog.

    I wasn't sure you'd care seeing your name posted in my blog so I didn't name you, and linked to this thread.

    Regards

    BTW I tried a free Windows batch translation program, FocusCAD DWG-DXF-DWF to PDF. It installs with Wine with an error for some DLL not being registered, opens fine but in the end doesn't work.

    Yes, now Bricscad for linux not opens DWF, but I belive that will open soon.

    today I have the same problem. I found some usefull stuff on the net in dwf (design web format) (nor dwg or dxf, stop talking about QCAD it could not open dwf)

    I could not even look at it without windows :(

    from link above i found that freewheel maybe good solution, but if I have no internet connection?

    I am asking myself a question why nobody can make dwf viewer for linux? even if dwf toolkit from autodesk is free(of charge?)
