February /2017/: This is a very critical hotfix. All customers who
downloaded /DraftSight/ between 2012 to /2017/ must install this
hotfix to avoid usage interruptions .
DraftSight is proprietary software with various limitations. They only
provide a package for Ubuntu and Fedora, I would not attempt
installing that on Debian as is. Librecad or Qcad are the best options
to my knowledge.
The only limitation I know of is against using it for business. For home
use, no problem. Install on PCLOS (rpm version) works. You must use "no
deps" in the command, because it wants to
install some kind of sound, and PCLOS doesn't know what to do with that.
If there is an Ubuntu version then it should certainly install in
Debian, which INVENTED the .deb system. Try it--the
AutoCad commands may be useful if you ever get into a business situation
where AutoCad is the primary 2D program. Of course, you CAN use it for
business--you just have to buy it. It is
VERY MUCH cheaper than any version of AutoCad!
