is there an alternative to ISOVIEW

Question

I have to access an online maintenance and it requires ISOVIEW to view diagrams and graphics but I am using 14.04 and hate the thought of having to do it through Windows

What format opens that program? – 0x2b3bfa0 Apr 07 '15 at 08:40 — 0x2b3bfa0, Apr 07 '15 at 08:40

Although I've never tried it myself, the included OpenOffice/LibreOffice DRAW program claims to view and manipulate vector illustrations.

There is a linux build of ISOVIEW on this website - http://cactuscode.org/documentation/visualization/IsoView/

Install instructions are

Get the IsoView source
Untar the package and enter the IsoView directory
Alter the make file, changing the second line to match your TCPXX installation
If you did NOT install fltk to its normal place, or it is not in your path, you will need to edit the makefile some more
At this point, if everything is setup correctly, and the code gods smile, then all you should need to do is 'make'

If you want to view and edit vector images, I think that Inkscape is your choice.

Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor; it can create or edit vector graphics such as illustrations, diagrams, line arts, charts, logos and even complex paintings. Inkscape's primary vector graphics format is Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) version 1.1. It can import from or export to several other formats as well but all editing workflow must inevitably occur within the constraints of SVG format.

In a terminal - sudo apt-get install inkscape
