Just a quick note: To make opening drawings from the filer simpler, you can create a script "/root/my-applications/bin/draftsight" - or whatever else you like, as long as it's in Puppy's executable paths - with the following code, and then just set the run action for *.dxf and *.dwg files to draftsight "$@"

The package in the first post is the first beta for DraftSight. A second beta for Linux was released, and I made an SFS4 package of the Ubuntu package for that second beta.

Beta-3 SFS4 now available. Please see later posts.

I included the little launcher script I mentioned in the previous post.

I've tested it on Lucid 528, and it should work with other Lucid Puppies. (Other Puppy versions may or may not work; I haven't tested them.)

The SFS is about 78 MB.

This link off the arch linux aur works:

Yup, that link works. Odd, as I'm pretty sure both sites belong to Dassault Systemes. Also odd, all the DraftSight links on the solidworks.com site point you to the same page I mentioned above, with only "Beta 2" listed.

Oh, well.

I'll download the 3rd beta and give it a shot, maybe make another package in a bit. Thanks!

beta-3 SFS uploaded
Tested on Lucid 528. Working very nicely for me. The occasional screen jutter I'd experience in the first two betas seems to have mostly cleared up.

EDIT: Links removed. Beta 4 now uploaded. Go here to get it.

Good Morning everybody Very Happy

I am live in Japan and just I am trying install "DraftSight"
on PuppyLinux 4.3.1(Japanese Edition).

I tried install DraftSight Beta on this PuppyLinux 4.3.1.
(Probably latest Lucid Puppy Japanese version is 4.3.1
-only my understanding. Confused

)
Installing as below,
#1.Get draftsight-b3.sfs.zip(to mnt/home)
#2.Unzip Automatically
#3.menu-Puppysetup-Set boot up option(which sfs file load)
This installing is seem done, (After re-booting I can choice menu-graphic-draftsight, but it not work on my environment)

I have only poor skill of puppylinux Embarassed

If you have smart solution about it, let me know Very Happy

Regarding the previous three posts:

Because the DraftSight SFS is made from an Ubuntu package, it might only work with Lucid Puppy, which has a fairly high degree of compatibility with Ubuntu. It may not work with other Puppy versions, including Puppy 431 and Wary.

You can try to get it to work by grabbing dependencies from Ubuntu's repositories or from another source, but it's not guaranteed to work, and you'd need to be careful not to mess up your Puppy installation while you're adding the missing dependencies.

V1R2.0-beta SFS added (Lucid-only; segfaults on me under Slacko)
V1R1.4-beta still available for Slacko

Download the packages from my website. [link]

DS worked well in several puppies I use. However, the latest release will not install. It shows 2 dozen missing dependencies.

It says it installs successfully but using pfind, it just lists a few files.

Any ideas? Puppy 5.25

Dear Everybody

I was use draftsight-b3.sfs.
But error is occurred "No support version?"

So I remove draftsight-b3.sfs by sfs on the fly.
and load TheAsterisk!-san's sfs for lucid.

But after loading, draftsight is added on menu, but no activation.

Let me know good solution.

thanks,
koh

Compatibility remains spotty for any given Puppy version, but beta release Version 1 Release 2.1 is also now available on my website.
