Hello,

I am new here,so hello all!
I would like to get some help about what i said in the tittle already.Autocad 2013 on ubuntu?Firstly i would like to ask about it, how playonlinux exactly works?And what is the difference with wine?Is it the scripts?Secondly, how can we manage to install autocad 2013, 3ds max 2013 on ubuntu 11.10?

Thanks

I'd also be interested in information about compatibility of AutoCad (2013 and earlier versions on PoL. Will be watching this thread, thanks!

A quick google search would have given ALL of that info.

Here are some links. Read them, and all of our documentation. Its a big link at the top. My guess is the Documentation would be the place to read.... the Documentation. hahaha. :)

Hi,
About AutoCAD, nobody in the team have it, and it's way to expensive to buy it just to write an installation script. A good source of infos for Wine compatibility in general is the AppDB, but it doesn't have anything about AutoCAD 2013 yet: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=86
Overall it seems that recent versions tend not to work, so I wouldn't have too much hope.
Exactly the same thing about 3D Studio MAX: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=343

I used CAD for 8 years all day.... what an awesome program! I don't have a copy anymore, but the best I could find is AutoCAD LT 2013 trial.
AutoCAD LT
Its free and a 30 day trial. maybe someone could download it and see if it runs?

Hell, I might even try it!
If AutoCAD LT runs, then the full version should run too. The full version just requires a better video card for all the 3D modeling capabilities.

Word. I was going to say, Im surprised that something that expensive doesnt have a lightweight trial version, which I guess it does. Let the testing begin..... any takers? I have to work. haha
