I agree with you Wiebe, but my future plans are interactions with programs outside BricsCAD - CNC, Office, WEB, etc. So, I think .NET is the best bet. But the lack of tutorials and guides is making things harder to start. Indeed, there are tons of …
Unfortunately, CAD is just a small part of the software needed for a businesses to operate. And it is almost all Windows. So, even BricsCAD is available on Linux it is not enough to switch platform.

Just to be honest - BricsCAD is still very limited in working with 3D geometry compared to AutoCAD! No explicit surfaces, no NURBS surfaces, no meshes and even no LOFT! Viewbase in AutoCAD is much better and polished!

Jeff, it may be even better…
CAD and many commercial software are struggling with Linux as a stable, predictable and valuable platform for development! And I don't see this is going to change at all! The only way is to use cloud-based solution - the industry is heading there!
"Or do I just have unrealistic expectations?"
That is! Not only with BricsCAD, but with AutoCAD and all .dwg clones. They just are not made to work well in 3d! Unusuble with medium and large 3d drawings. Rhino and any parametric 3d solid modelers ar…
Yes, I wrote this before - BricsCAD seems to follow the same direction as others - mixing too many unfinished and unpolished features! There are so many things that can be done to make BricsCAD the best 2d CAD! Whatever they say 2d is still the fast…
It is that simple - as majority or users keep using AutoCAD, their monopoly keeps stronger! Because their file format is proprietary and there will NEVER BE full interoperability with other software! You are locked. That"s why Autodesk's products ar…
I agree! We have half-backed 2d and 3d program! This seems to be a common trend in a software development - loosing focus, too much attention to the interface gadgets, trying to be swiss-army knife! There are so many 2d functions missing - just loo…
