# I am trying to convert over to LINUX from Windows and wonder if a LINUX version will be available? I have tried using Wine to run ActCAD on LINUX Ubuntu but it doesn't seem to work (would appreciate any help with this).

If ActCAD could be able to be installed to run in LINUX via the Wine Emmulator, that would be a great help.

If your system is robust enough, you could run VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ and then run a windows virtual system to use ActCAD.  I've run my older version of AutoCAD (Map v.2011) that way because it won't run on my Windows 10. You would have to find a license for Windows 7, 8, or 10 as a guest in VirtualBox. I bought ActCAD because I have problems with with AutoCAD because of the .pdf export. It doesn't work for what I need to do plus the VirtualBox can be a little slow mouse-wise, and, with AutoCAD being a fairly memory intensive program, it crashes more often than I'd like.  ActCAD is much newer and probably would have no problem in a Windows guest system using Virtualbox.
