Can architects use Linux?
Filed in archive Utilities by Rom Feria on September 22, 2007
Chen Nan Yang of Linux.com gives us an insight on FOSS alternatives for architects. He concludes, however, "(T)he bottom line is that open source software such as Blender, QCad, Inkscape, and the GIMP can do just about any architectural drawing that commercial software can do, though sometimes they are less efficient and not compatible to your previous work (as in QCad's lack of support for DWG files)."
I'd say, "Good enough!" If there are more architects using these tools, developers will continue to improve 'em. Who knows? They might just surprise you one of these days.
