What good CAD programs are available?
Just that. By good I mean something at the level of SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar. This is a complete limitation for me (and many others) to use Ubuntu.

Please specify what you need the CAD application for. There are plenty of open and commercial solutions available.

Not exactly the same as Solidworks or Autocad, but it really depends on what you are going to do. Reviews says that many free software do have good quality, but unfortunately that's really subjective.

Check out these 2Doptions.
LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux.LibreCAD is available in the Ubuntu Software Center. LibreCAD is an application for computer aided design (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With LibreCAD you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schematics and diagrams.
DraftSight (not free software) is the only native software running on Ubuntu compatible with DWG files - it's 2D only (can view 3D files but not create them), sort of an equivalent to AutoCAD LT.
If you want to spend money then
Bricscad is a lot more powerful, has ACIS modeling just like AutoCAD (Pro version) and its Platinum version has even parametric modeling.

Ok so its not strictly speaking a native Linux application. But it runs under Wine. Is very powerful and very easy to use and most of all is completely free.

"At level of Autocad" means commercial software. Best commercial software. I used many CAD programs in both Windows and linux, and my assessment for linux is like this:
- Closest Autocad equivalent is Bricscad.
- Second place goes to ARES Commander and CorelCAD.
- Third place goes to DraftSight Pro (because it got video card issues on nVidia cards).
Solidworks is NOT CAD, is PLM (product lifecycle management). Best equivalent for Solidworks could be Siemens NX. Others may say CATIA, but CATIA lost linux support back in 2008.

Check out these 2Doptions.
LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux.LibreCAD is available in the Ubuntu Software Center. LibreCAD is an application for computer aided design (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With LibreCAD you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts or schematics and diagrams.
DraftSight (not free software) is the only native software running on Ubuntu compatible with DWG files - it's 2D only (can view 3D files but not create them), sort of an equivalent to AutoCAD LT.
If you want to spend money then
Bricscad is a lot more powerful, has ACIS modeling just like AutoCAD (Pro version) and its Platinum version has even parametric modeling.

Please do not post duplicate answers on different questions. It just creates more work for the moderators. If the questions are so similar that the same answer works on each, then the later of the two is likely a duplicate and should be flagged as such.

Ok so its not strictly speaking a native Linux application. But it runs under Wine. Is very powerful and very easy to use and most of all is completely free.

"At level of Autocad" means commercial software. Best commercial software. I used many CAD programs in both Windows and linux, and my assessment for linux is like this:
- Closest Autocad equivalent is Bricscad.
- Second place goes to ARES Commander and CorelCAD.
- Third place goes to DraftSight Pro (because it got video card issues on nVidia cards).
Solidworks is NOT CAD, is PLM (product lifecycle management). Best equivalent for Solidworks could be Siemens NX. Others may say CATIA, but CATIA lost linux support back in 2008.

Please specify what you need the CAD application for. There are plenty of open and commercial solutions available.
