The only thing I've used *personally* like this is Blender3D but that is for 3D rendering and animation (a bit different than what you want to do). Here are some suggestions though:<BR>
<BR>
- QCad (2D CAD System)<BR>
- FreeCAD (Feature based parametric modeler)<BR>
- PyCAD (PythonCAD - doesn't support dwg/dxf formats)<BR>
- SagCAD (2D CAD modelling)<BR>
<BR>
Happy Hunting you CAD!<BR>

I need to design a couple things for a friend. I would like to do it
in a linux based auto-cad type solution. Anyone have any good ideas
for something simple I can start with? I'm looking to model some wood
boxes, simple but not just 90degree angles.
Anyone done anything like this? Any examples would also be greatly
welcome.
Thoughts?
