Qcad is a good free drawing software for Ubuntu.

I was setting one of my computers up after installing 12.04, and couldn't find qcad in the repository. Ubuntu has switched to librecad.org/cms/home.html in the repo. It appears to be very similar to Qcad.

It's not on 10.04 which is the latest LinuxCNC LiveCD so not much use to us for now.

I have a feeling it is identical. I might be wrong.

librecad.org/cms/home/about.html

I am partly wrong :-)

I don't know if this is just someone with big plans, but Qcad has not added any features in a while.
(Which might be a good thing, newer versions of Autocad make my eyes twitch)

There are CAM plugins for LibreCad, but I haven't had a chance to look at it. Or, there might be better ways with dxf files and Qcad.

I have also looked at sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/. It is really impressive, a lot of potential, but not quite ready for serious work IMO.

True, it is a commercial product and Les is expecting to make money from it.
