+1 for QCAD. I've been using it since the announcement above. It works fine with all my old .dwg files, is free and open source and works on Linux, MAC, and Windows. Your designs are stored locally so everything is under your own control unlike cloud based systems.
Goodbye Dassault. I will...
Hi,
My SP1 installation has expired and I was prompted to install the latest version, SP2.
I downloaded the .deb file and tried to install it but it crashed with the following errors:
As it has destroyed my earlier version I am stuck.
Any ideas chaps?

Brilliant, thanks for that jyb44. it's a bit of a pain in the ar..fternoon but at least it works. Surely it should be a simple matter for the Solidworks team to fix it?
Russell.
Still no solution for this problem on a Linux laptop using the built in GPU? Don't the developers bother to read this forum and take note of the bugs in their system?
The Windows version works fine on the same machine but it's a pain having to switch to Windows for this one program.

I've just installed version 2015 SP3 on my laptop running Linux Mint (Ubuntu based) as the older version of Draftsight had expired and I'm getting the same problem. I'm not using NVIDIA graphics but the built in GPU.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? It's unusable at present...
