Hi All

I have just changed to QCad on Debian 12 and after testing the free version for a few days,
bought the au$67 professional version.

Greatest positive is that it opens Autocad drawings without the importing process.
Biggest negative for me is that there is no small preview before you open a file, so if like me you number the drawings for a project, you end up opening 3 or 4 before you find the right one.

Qcad is 2D only which suits me just fine and everything else is very familiar to the Acad 2000 I was using on Windows 7.

Only one application left before I can ditch Windoze all together and that is Protel99SE.
The .db files for it don't seem to be recognised by any other app and I don't feel like redrawing hundreds of diagrams.

Regards
