Summary: wine & turbocad Product: Wine Version: 0.9.3. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: test AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: tedhansen@sasktel.net
I apologize if bugzilla isn't the proper way to do this.
I am trying to get some version of turbocad to run in wine & it is beyond my abilities so I'm hoping somebody will be able to help.
I have version 7 (3D) which would be the preferred version to try to get working because then it seems probable that all newer versions (current is version 11) may also work. There is some record of this attempt here: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/browse_frm/thr...
However, this seems hopeless plus all 3D versions are not free so I am now trying Turbocad LE which is free & currently available from http://freecad.com/.
It seems more promising, it actually runs but has problems:
-could not get the self-extracting exe to extract (minor problem, I extracted using windows & the setup.exe then worked to do the install. -all drawing functions seem to work. -(Main problem). Unable to properly dimension anything, units will not drop off trailing zeros. Unable to edit properties of any entity. Error box "enter a number" or "enter a number between 0 & 1.0000000000" pops up when attempting to edit properties. There is a debug output however, see this post: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/browse_frm/thr...
It seems like t-c keeps its properties in a database or list somewhere & is unable to communicate with the database. Since this appears (at this time anyway) to be the only bug in getting this app to work, I have some hope that it might be possible but I haven't got the skill to do it.
Can anybody help?
