Is it possible to install AutoCad or an alternative on Ubuntu? [duplicate]

There are numerous options, choose the one that you like best.

1. PyCAD

2. Medusa:

   • Download the free software for personal use.
   • Download: medusa4_v4_0_0_linux_personal.sh
   • After downloading the above file, it needs to be marked as executable, so it can be run. To do this, run: chmod +x <filename.sh> in a terminal
   • It needs to be executed as root, so use sudo: sudo ./filename.sh
   • Installation & More information: Here

3. Draftsight - may be unstable under Linux but is written for it. YMMV.

4. Librecad

   • Its already in Ubuntu Repositories.
   • You can get it by running: sudo apt-get install librecad
   • More Information: Librecad

5. Bricscad is a very stable paid application that is a very close Autocad clone. It is not free however my experience is that it is stable and edits 99% of Autocad functions.
