Also look out for Brics-cad pro and Ares commander edition both offer cad for linux
in both 32-bit architecture full version is available for a price though.

ReplyDeletecan you post the output of the installation
DeleteDon't use
ReplyDeletedpkg -i --force-architecture DraftSight.deb
but
dpkg --force-architecture -i DraftSight.deb
Make sure ia32-libs-gtk (32 bit version of libgtk-x11-2.0.so) is installed
Deletei had also problems with running it, even with 32 bit CPU. removing old configuration files from ~/.config/Draftsight and ~/.config/Dassaultsmth helped
ReplyDeleteIt worked for me. Thank you!
ReplyDelete(Have Installed ia32-libs-gtk also and used: dpkg --force-architecture -i DraftSight.deb).
