[TriLUG] autocad -- linux

[Evan Thomson]

Thats fine and dandy if you're running Autocad R14.. nothing Autocad 2000
and higher works in Wine. Let alone any of the vertical
products(Architectural, etc..). Not to mention any VBA/ObjectDBX/.NET custom
programming that most Autocad users use.

The best I've been able to do is run Autocad in a VMWare session, which
works ok for 2d stuff, but 3d gets painful quick.
