as I've understood, visio has given 2 years ago Intellicad source free 
for about 2 months. after this, there are  10...20 developing teams, who 
are making its own "intellicad" (or whatever) independently. It is not 
excluded, that someone is working, trying to make a port to Linux, but 
I've heard that program is too windoze-specific.

About wine: I've tried once to run Felixcad under wine (dont understand 
me wrong, please :)), and it started, opened a simple drawing, but I 
coudn't perform any operation more. This is the best windoze-cad 
behavior with wine, I've ever seen.

And another thing: Why are you looking for a AutoCad clone? What is 
important, is compability. I hope, there will never be a Linux MS 
Office, a Linux AutoCAD etc. I've never seen a really good programmer, 
who wants to make only an exact copy...
