is there anyone who uses autodesk inventor on linux ? i hav not use it for sometime. i am curious… thinking does any linux guy run "autodesk inventor " ?
since commercial app usually does not support open source. i guess, linux guy don’t use inventor 3d Cad… does that means linux users are not engineering ppl ? they never use inventor from autodesk ?
As far as I can tell, you cannot run Autodesk Inventor natively on Linux.
In fact, the selection of CAD software on Linux is not great. If you need to use a specific CAD program, it’s best to have a separate windoze machine for that, or run it in a VM if your Linux host machine is powerful enough.
On Linux we have FreeCAD, LibreCAD, OpenSCAD, QCAD, and BRL-CAD. Some of them look promising, but none of them come close in features to CAD packages like AutoCAD or SolidWorks.
i doubt wine can run inventor … it can’t run many app properly , no to mention such a big app such inventor . so sad. how good will it be if linux does able to run inventor. then i wouldn’t have to remember windows os anymore forever.
which of the CAD software above you mentioned is the most powerful and one for all CAD ? something worth learning and using ? i would like to try one one.
Yep, i can make it run fully with GPU acceleration and all that jazz, however you’ll need to make portable copy from Windows installation or use a good portable
Real problem with it is Adobe installer, hence portable
what does “portable” means ?
is it port a software from an os environment into another ? just like build it into java from phyton … or build the same source code from c++ into phyton ?
so that the same source code runs on other environment ?
Standalone. It’s a version of the application which isn’t “installed” to the OS but is contained in a single location or directory, see e.g. portableapps.com
i do have many apps from protableapps.com when i was using windows os… i thought it means portability… such as portable, not need to install… as it portable… not *.msi. just a single runable *.exe file.
how does Ported app works ? whats the working principle behind it ?
i am not 100% clear on this "portable " still a bit … not clear
Just think of it as Sandboxed program files + registry, which can run from any location without installation.
Why you ask, if used portableapps.com before?
but u can’t just make a source code that was programmed for windows os to run on linux… you have to use wine as emulator… without an emulator, how to make it ported to linux ?
as i have said… i used the small apps from the website… without knowing how it works… i just thought it is no need to use registry… thats all… some old windows apps: you can actually just copy out the “after installed” files… and run it without issue… i thought those portable apps are such.
