[ale] 3D CAD in Linux?

[Richard Faulkner]

The only thing I've used *personally* like this is Blender3D but that is
for 3D rendering and animation (a bit different than what you want to
do).  Here are some suggestions though:

- QCad (2D CAD System)
- FreeCAD (Feature based parametric modeler)
- PyCAD (PythonCAD - doesn't support dwg/dxf formats)
- SagCAD (2D CAD modelling)

Happy Hunting you CAD!

I need to design a couple things for a friend.  I would like to do it
in a linux based auto-cad type solution.  Anyone have any good ideas
for something simple I can start with?  I'm looking to model some wood
boxes, simple but not just 90degree angles.

Anyone done anything like this?  Any examples would also be greatly
welcome.

Thoughts?
