What good CAD programs are available?
My relative wants to install Ubuntu for his office purposes. He would definitely use AutoCad (as well as other tools).
Would AutoCAD work in Ubuntu? Or are there any alternatives?

AutoCAD is Windows only, and won't work in Ubuntu. – user68186 Dec 29 '12 at 02:47

Please ask about the "other tools" in separate questions (and specify what these "other tools" are). – RolandiXor Dec 29 '12 at 02:48

There are numerous options, choose the one that you like best.
-
- Download the free software for personal use.
- Download:
medusa4_v4_0_0_linux_personal.sh - After downloading the above file, it needs to be marked as executable, so it can be run. To do this, run:
chmod +x <filename.sh>in a terminal - It needs to be executed as root, so use sudo:
sudo ./filename.sh - Installation & More information: Here
Draftsight - may be unstable under Linux but is written for it. YMMV.
Librecad
- Its already in Ubuntu Repositories.
- You can get it by running:
sudo apt-get install librecad - More Information: Librecad
Bricscad is a very stable paid application that is a very close Autocad clone. It is not free however my experience is that it is stable and edits 99% of Autocad functions.

1Draftsight is very close to Autodesk Autocad, I have a very good impression on it – Ale Jan 11 '14 at 14:30
