I tried installing this in Slacko 533 but it doesn't want to run. Is there a more up to date version or any newish cad that uses the dxf file format - which could possibly be opened by Autocad as well?

if there is a newer version, can i just install it on top of what i already installed?

I tried searching the forum (titles only) using only the word 'cad'. All posts were from 2007 so I'm wondering if I should be trying to do cad in Puppy these days.
--------
Hold the fort - after trying the google search, I found a more up-to-date thread here discussing draftsight, an Autocad compatible app.

Thanks.

so i won't do any more on this thread.

It isn't running because it's a gtk1 based app. If you install these:

glib12-1.2.10.pet
gtk+12-1.2.10.pet

then run, from console, sagcad, then it will start.

Have you tried draftsight?

Hi Muggins
Yes, I'm trying to get draftsight going but am having some issues (- activation) so I hope someone can help. My problems are at the link you gave on page 3. If it can't be made to work I'll come back here. It seems the Lucid 528.005 is behaving quite differently than Slacko 533, so my dual screen setup went a little out of whack per this link (sept 30 edit)

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 0&start=32:

I probably won't try the exprimo thing since I don't need 3d and i'd like to stay as close as possible to autocad because of old files, etc.

editSept30 - decided after all to get sagcad running so followed your instructions and it worked as advertised! It actually looks good enough for what I need - simple plot of old map surveys from land registry office. Hopefully the dxf file can be imported to the other apps later on if needed.

Thank you muchly

Well, I was surprised to see that there was a package for V0-9-14, for ubuntu, which is gtk2 based. I've uploaded to the first post so, if you want to try it, first use the package manager to delete the previous version.

For some strange reason, even though the ubuntu package says 0.9.14, the gui says 0.9.13?

RSH,

glad you looked at this. Currently the pet comes with html files in japanese, german & machine translated english. Under /root/.sagcad the file sagcadrc has:

Code: Select all

Browser command
defaulthtmlviewer %s
So when the Help button is clicked, the Japanese index.html is opened. Do you think it would be better with a script, say called runBrowser, which would parse if default language is german or japanese, open the respective index.html, otherwise default to english?

If I do click the Help Button, the German Documentation is opened (i just changed the settings (command for browser) from netscape to defaultbrowser)

Did work in both versions the same way.

I have tested using English Language Settings ---> Japanese Docs are opened. Did made some tests... ...only replacing Japanes Docs with English Docs in /usr/local/share/sagcad/doc gives success. :?

Image

A small script -like you did suggest- should do the job as well.

Thanks RSH...it's not a big issue. Seeing that it does load german docs correcty, but not english, maybe I'll look at the sources & see where this is being decided, then recompile.

cheers

Edit I modified the sources & recompiled, and I think it's working OK now, so re-uploaded new .pet.
