what works in xp and not in ubuntu

[Duncan Lithgow]

Qcad was mentioned. AutoCAD is widely used and their dwg format supports 
a lot more information than the dxf can. dxf doesn't do layers for 
example. And that's critical for even moderately complex building 
designs. Therefore I can't use Qcad to send a useful file to a user of 
AutoCAD.

which will probably still rely on much of the things which mean AutoCAD 
can't run under *nix

What industry are you in? Architects (at least the generation with the 
controling stake) are strangely slow to adopt 3D software. I wonder how 
well Qcad and Blender play together?
