But no success on Ubuntu, so this makes them think Ubuntu is not ready as a daily driver. Interestingly, they work pretty well when I try them on a Windows environment. We can not use FreeCAD and LibreCAD since they only work with DXF format and arcitects are sending us the files in DWG format. In my unsuccessfull demonstration of installing both apps in 64bit Ubuntu 12.04LTS (and 13.10) they failed and I could not make them work no matter what. They are so used to click on an exe and "next" a few times. In Turkey Linux is very little known, so is methods of installing apps on it. I have tried BricsCAD and DraftSight so far with no success. So they accepted me looking for totally legal and equally usefull alternatives. So no one wants to pay for it (it is still wrong though). Using Autocad for this is really overkill. However, we do very much basic drawing of electrical units, lines, cameras, lambs etc. They are very much happier with Writer, Calc and Thunderbird. I have convinced the buying department to use Ubuntu since they are only using basic functions of Word and Excel and Outlook. In our office we use Windows 8.1 mostly and some 7.
