    The only way you MIGHT possibly run Inventor under linux
    is with really fast hardware and VMWare running a Windows
    based virtual machine, but it would probably run really
    slow and with no graphics acceleration. However, there
    are several higher end cad packages that can run native
    under linux or other unix based OS's. Two that come to
    mind are Unigraphics and Pro/Engineer.

    IV= Windows OP

    end of choices for "OP"

    not even ACAD on anything but windows

    this was forced by corporate IT departments back in mid 90"s i think

    I believe you can find somewhere how to get Acad 14 installed on Linux,
    I've never had any luck with Inv though.

    Last I looked PTC had announced plans to discontinue Linux support.
    They also seem to be dropping supported Unix platforms. :-|

    I tried to get ACAD v12 to run on OS-2warp. No luck even with that.

    We used to have acad v13 running on Solaris. That was
    the last unix version. Don't think they ever did a os2
    version. Didn't they try a Mac version at one time though?

    there was a Version of 12 that was native for unix, i remember runing it on a "SGI" system. Should work on Linux fine i would think. v12 I think was the last for the Mac also.
