This software is a capable Cad drawing software. Some feel it is not near Autocad polish but it does function well.

Wine Application Database

As of [Jul 06] there are several entries in the application database.

  • http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?versionId=3871 Turbocad LE which apparently was offered as a free version.
    • This software needs another maintainer to help out. Rated as Silver with some older versions of Wine - please submit your results with the latest versions of Wine.. Apparently has improvements with native msvcrt. Please submit bug reports with details so that Wine developers can fix this.
  • http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=2555 Turbocad Std List of Turbocad versions.
  • Has 1 super maintainer. Needs more recent submissions with recent Wine versions. Version 6.5 and 7 have been tested with wine 1.0 but wine has made significant improvements since then. Probably also needs another supermaintainer to help.
  • http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=365 Turbocad modelling
  • No Maintainer.(is she dead jim?)
  • Please consider submitting your test results for running this software under Wine.
Become a Maintainer
Please consider volunteering to be an additional Maintainer for this software.

Regularly Submitting results for installing and running on the latest version of Wine makes a big difference for others considering using Wine. By looking at how well the software runs others can be encouraged to try it themselves and together you can make progress in finding workarounds. By testing the software you will also notice when something breaks and when you make a bug report, the bugzilla team will often point it out to the person who broke it. If you are slightly more technically minded, you are able to regularly compile wine and test it before each fortnightly release then you will catch breakages before each wine release.

  • Who can be a Maintainer? - anyone. no programming experience required.
  • What is required of a Maintainer? - not much, but you do make a real difference.

A big advantage of being a maintainer is that as you quickly become familiar with installing and using wine with your software, you can have a direct hand in improving wine and your software. Many times you will find very handy tips posted by others and by posting a summary many benefit from your work. When you are asked a question you don't know, simply post in the wine-users forum and perhaps someone can help.

Just by being there, you make a difference. A maintainer quickly tests each monthly release of wine, and adds to the application database a rating of how good it runs.. gold/silver/bronze or garbage. Wine is constantly being improved, and occasionally something breaks. When you do spot a breakage, file a bug in bugzilla and if you want to try and fix it you can then post to the wine-devel mailing list for advice. However, if you have a little spare time (usually about 2 hours, in between doing other things) regression testing allows you to identify which patch caused the break. By filling out a bugzilla report, posting the name of the software, and the patch which broke it to the wine-devel mailing list, the developer who broke it can have a look at fixing it.

  • This often results in very quick fixes.

Anon: I am still trying to run Turbocad Le under wine (see earlier post http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/browse_thread/thread/2abfa5ba1de237d3/05ad0098dae2ca05?q=crashedagain&rnum=8#05ad0098dae2ca05) I have discovered it will run under version 20040121 or older but has errors with later versions. wine archive
