I believe QCAD is a 2D CAD application, not 3D. For the latter, try giving BRL-CAD a shot: <a href="https://brlcad.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BRL-CAD: Open Source Solid Modeling</a>Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Do Pro/E, Ansys, Catia work on Ubuntu LinuxAre you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

I believe they are not really designed and compiled for Linux systems. Catia is especially optimized for Windows. I doubt they have native Linux versions.
Anyway, you can still run them in Virtual machines like WINE, but the performance might dip.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

@Ash: I was working on Windows till two days back. My computer got infected with a virus and had to format the disk and then started to reinstall windows. Was getting a problem with the sound card(it had happened earlier and I somehow solved the problem but this time couldn't). A friend of mine also tried but failed. He had a CD of Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and installed it on my PC. Therefore, I am new to Linux but have till now found out that wine may be used for running programmes made for windows and exe files do not run on linux and some more.
Ash, can you tell me something more about this OS, I am a newbie to it. But am finding it much better than windows.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

My friend, I'm also a newbie to the Linux world 😔 However, Ubuntu is quite easy to pick up because of the many tutorials and resources on the net.raj87verma88@Ash: I was working on Windows till two days back.

As a first encounter, you should probably learn how to use some of the basic command lines, such as "sudo", "apt-get", etc. Once you learn how to access stuff at "root" level (kinda like admin) and download packages, you should have no problems staying put with Ubuntu 😀
One thing to remember is that non-open source applications and codecs are not installed in ubuntu by default. So if you want to play mp3 songs for example, you need to download the codecs.
Currently, I'm using openSUSE. Not as user friendly as Ubuntu, but I find it quite unique to use, hehe.

Bro, what do you mean by Video CAD?just2rockDo anybody have Video Cad software ?....I have the demo but need the full version!Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
