Bricscad V10 for Linux has been released and is now available for download. Bricscad is recognized as the number one alternative CAD platform for the DWG file format.

The functionality of Bricscad for Linux is very similar to the functionality of Bricscad Classic for Windows. For a complete comparison between the different Bricscad versions, click here.
Bricscad V10 for Linux contains the complete LSP and DCL API's. Existing applications and customizations that use these APIs and have been written for Windows-based Bricscad and/or AutoCADĀ® can run on Bricscad V10 for Linux without modification.

This brings us to the next question. When will GeoTools run on Bricscad for Linux? The fact that GeoTools is almost entirely based on Lisp means that we should be able to port it on Linux pretty soon. But we have a few challenges to overcome. Parts of it (like the doslib routines) are written in BRX and they are third-party libraries. Our software licensing and a number of system functions management are based on these BRX calls. As soon as we sort these issues, GeoTools for Linux will be a reality!
