![]() Possibly time to upgrade your hardware or get another (used?) machine with more power.įor screen issue: many laptops, even in older models, have a video port for an external screen. ![]() Possibly shutdown other applications while using DraftSight. The only thing is that, if the drawing is not a schematic, and scale matters, you have to make sure that the pdf printing paramaters to not stretch the drawing to "fit" the paper format.įor the mouse lag : never had this, I suspect you lack in RAM or CPU bandwidth. Here is the work around: print to pdf format first, then print the pdf format to same printer and colours are there plus you have a "revision snapshot" of the drawing in pdf format, which may save your bacon if you need to present the drawing and your computer crashed or such. The issue is not with DraftSight but with the printer driver. I've migrated to Fedora since and have been using DraftSight on my Fedora Linux computers (desktop and laptop), and Windows machines at work, for about 3 years.įor the colour printing issue, I too had it printing to my Brother MFC-J6510DW colour 11"x17" printer and then it started only printing in black and white. I've used IntelliCAD products like BricsCAD and CADopia, but these products did not run that well under Ubuntu. Pembroke Pines, FL, USA RE: Linux: Draftsight vs ? Medusa4 Personal is billed as full 2D/partial 3D, but so far I haven't been able to find a 3D anything. I honestly don't know if Medusa is displaying everything that was in the files, because it's been so long since I generated them. ![]() I think there's some 3D information in them they didn't cause Medusa to crash, but there seems to be no way to rotate the display to visualize the perspective. Draftsight used to work fairly well on the small screen. I'll put another copy on my desktop, which has a bigger screen. I wish I had written that down, or remember where/if I did. ![]() I think I found a setting that shrunk the display to the correct size in a previous version. It seems to assume the screen is much bigger. Like its predecessors, it doesn't really fit well on my laptop's 1024x768 screen. I've just downloaded and installed Medusa4 Personal 5.2.1, which is a 32 bit app, and installs to Linux using a big script and an automatically generated and emailed license file keyed to your network adapter. ![]()
