User Reviews

  • This thing is fine if you are a real Linux Nerd - but if you just want to use it as a tool, its almost impossible - its a full download/compile effort, taking care to get it in the right folder - and even then it wouldn't start up - very, very unclear - there are much easier tools available than this - leave it for the Linux Nerds.
  • Thank you very much for the program under a free open source license!
  • Superb documentation and coding, providing an in-depth and fascinating insight into CAD. Thank you for making this project and sources available: your hard work and skills are greatly appreciated. Only one problem regarding the binary on Windows32 XP-Serice Pack 3. I get an error when launching MGED; directly after the console window appears, it quits with the message: "mged.exe is not a valid win32 application."
  • A very, very klunky interface. E.g. to run brl-cad on Ubuntu, you need to run mged from the command line. The process of changing attributes is also very tedious. This would have been a great package in the 1980's.
  • It's the best OpenSource CAD I've used
