BRL-CAD - La mejor alternativa para Autocad

Si bien es cierto que Autocad es una herramienta reconocida "casi" mundialmente y usada por muchísima gente, también sabemos que es bastante cara y la version de paga no esta al alcance de cualquier persona (sin tomar en cuenta que se actualiza constantemente).

Existen muchos programas "alternativos" para esta (fundamental) herramienta, pero mucha gente al igual que yo pensara que ninguna da el ancho, en otras palabras, no se compara con el original y se queda corto en opciones.

Sin embargo les quiero presentar un programa llamado BRL-CAD, una herramienta de software gratuita desarrollada por el ejercito de los Estados Unidos en colaboración con la NASA.

Solo para darles una idea del potencial de este software les dejo algunos datos como que podemos disponer de mas de 400 herramientas, aplicaciones y utilerías. Además de ser 100% multiplataforma por lo que podemos encontrar paquetes de instalación para BSD, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows y otros no tan populares.

Lista de Equivalencias de Software - Windows Linux

Muchas veces la gente se ve obligada a seguir usando un sistema operativo, por que su trabajo depende de algún software, esta lista busca mostrar las alternativas de Sofware que Linux posee.

Ahora si ya no hay pretexto para migrar y probar otras alternativas ;)
