while QCAD for sure is a great software, it must be clear to your client
that it does in no way come close to AUTOCAD, which might become somewhat
clear when you go and compare the relevant prize tags.

So I would recommend to thoroughly test if it works in regard to performance
and compatibility.

Two other things that might be worth to check:

http://www.freelists.org/webpage/cad-linux

You will find plenty of additional information if you search for "cad" on
www.google.com/linux

Kind regards
