Autocad LT in Fedora

Is there anyway to install a Autocad LT in my fedora core 4 os?

Well, I have tried with very limmited success with Wine AutoCad LT 2000 but It's just not practical... The only reason I have a windows machine is bacause I use AutoCad 2002 a lot and just don't see any reason to bother trying to get it running on Linux... It's not made for Linux so I have accepted that...

I would suggest either get another windows computer or duel boot so you can use your ACLT.

Have you tried to get it run under wine or WineX (I think that is the name)? I not a wine fan, but that is your only options. There are AutoCAD type tools for Linux. Varicad has a trial download and looks the best from what I seem. I have very limited experience with AutoCAD, so take that with a grain of salt.

Yes, Tangle, I have Varicad full version and it is OK but does not come close to Autocad. Intellicad did come out with a Linux Version and is a pretty good likeness for Acad but I did some beta testing on it and it also uses Wine, so I did not consider it a Linux version... If Intellicad got their act together and ported a real Linux version they could make some bucks...
