Does ZWCAD Support the Linux Operation System?

ZWCAD is a widely used CAD software primarily designed for 2D drafting and 3D modeling with full DWG compatibility. While it is officially available for Windows platforms internationally, ZWCAD currently does not offer a native Linux version for global markets.

However, in the Chinese market, ZWSOFT provides a dedicated Linux edition of ZWCAD. This version is a fully featured CAD solution tailored to be compatible with a range of domestic Linux distributions and hardware platforms, supporting professional CAD workflows within China.

If you are outside China and require Linux CAD solutions, you may consider contacting ZWSOFT sales (sales@zwsoft.com) to explore alternative options or virtualization solutions.

 

Workarounds for Linux Users

For Linux users who want to use ZWCAD, the recommended approach is to run ZWCAD within a Windows virtual machine using virtualization software such as VMware or VirtualBox. This method allows Linux users to run a full Windows environment on their system and then install and operate ZWCAD inside that environment.
