Bricsys NV, the developer of Bricscad, has released the beta version of Bricscad V10 for LINUX.

Until now, Bricscad V10 was available only for the Windows operating system. Since January 2010, a select number of users have tested several alpha releases of a version native to LINUX. Now, Bricscad V10 for LINUX is sufficiently stable and has enough functionality to be released to the public as beta software.

The beta version of Bricscad V10 for LINUX contains the complete DCL and LISP APIs. Existing applications and customizations written for Windows-based Bricscad and/or AutoCAD using these APIs can run on Bricscad V10 for LINUX without modification.

Initially, Bricscad will support two LINUX flavors: Red Hat and Ubuntu. Those wishing to try out Bricscad V10 for LINUX can download the software for test purposes from www.bricsys.com. The first commercial version will be released at the end of June, 2010.
