    I wish to know if all my old autocad lisp routines work in Linux.

    If not, which commands can not be used in linux

    Sorry for late answer. I asked these questions in a webinar. They said transfer and running under Linux, Mac etc is possible. We are supporting this transfer.

    You can access help for LISP online here
    https://developer.bricsys.com/bricscad/help/en_US/CurVer/DevRef/index.html

    LISP functions that require COM aren't available on Linux but Bricsys have implemented Fast-com as a solution to this. The help lists which properties and methods have been supported in this way
    https://developer.bricsys.com/bricscad/help/en_US/CurVer/DevRef/index.html?page=source/LISPFastCOM.htm

    You can get an offline version of the help here in PDF form
    https://boa.bricsys.com/applications/a/?lisp-developer-support-package-(ldsp)-a720-al1176

    I'm not aware of any help documentation for BLADE.

    I gave up installing Bricscad on Manjaro (Arch Linux) after a while as the manual Installation via TAR file and Terminal was too complicated and cumbersome for me. Arch Linux is not really supported by Bricscad. (I am a mere Mac and GUI user)

    I think installation it is easy in Open Suse by RPM. I used Tumbleweed, a "rolling" release and Suse is supported by Bricscad. I just added my download folder to the Update Paths/Repositories. So when there is a newer Bricscad version DEB in the Folder and I do a usual updating it will be found automatically and installed.
    Same for Ubuntu, I prefer and really like Elementary OS. To install Bricscad's DEB I need to use an App called "Eddy" to install own DEB files, as Elementary by default installs Apps from its Elementary Store/Repository (or Flatpack paths) only.

    So basically for Tumbleweed or Elementary, installing Bricscad on Linux is nearly as easy as on Mac or on Windows. Other than on Manjaro, Open Suse and Ubuntu are supported by Bricscad and do register in Start Menus, with Icons, a they should.

    I can confirm that in Fedora silverblue and ubuntu is same problem descript in the comment final in this link and same way that describe


    In all cases is not possible install.

    Why? Bricscad request old dependencies.

    Also a new problem, when i try download the tar.gz version, this download a msi.

    So many problem when they could use flatpak, snap, or appimage
