Subject: autocad replacement?


I have a friend in Tucson who is a heavy autocad user in windows.
He's currently going to the U of A, and is taking some c programming
class, using cygwin.  I asked why he doesn't just put Red Hat on it and
use that, or any variant... red hat is best supported for someone who
knows nothing about linux except my rants to him.

But he uses autocad too much to loose windows.
Does anyone know any good autocad replacements?

I took drafting for 4 years in high school and two years in college, I
need a serious drafting program, not that draw a line from here to here
and give me a measurement crap.  I haven't been able to find one.
Varicad looks decent, but is nothing to autocad...
Or, has anyone tried autocad in wine?

I'd really like to see him switch out of windows.
But I understand his pain/need for drafting.

thanks.
