           Summary: wine & turbocad
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.3.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: test
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: tedhansen at sasktel.net


I apologize if bugzilla isn't the proper way to do this.  
 
I am trying to get some version of turbocad to run in wine & it is beyond my 
abilities so I'm hoping somebody will be able to help.  
  
I have version 7 (3D) which would be the preferred version to try to get  
working because then it seems probable that all newer versions (current  
is version 11) may also work. There is some record of this attempt here:  
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/browse_frm/thread/49978f3ad6e98722/80907fdac703b700#80907fdac703b700  
  
However, this seems hopeless plus all 3D versions are not free so I am 
now trying Turbocad LE which is free & currently available from 
http://freecad.com/.  
 
It seems more promising, it actually runs but has problems: 
 
-could not get the self-extracting exe to extract (minor problem, I extracted 
using windows & the setup.exe then worked to do the install. 
-all drawing functions seem to work. 
-(Main problem). Unable to properly dimension anything, units will not drop 
off trailing zeros. Unable to edit properties of any entity. Error box "enter a 
number" or "enter a number between 0 & 1.0000000000" pops up when 
attempting to edit properties. There is a debug output however, see this 
post: 
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/browse_frm/thread/2abfa5ba1de237d3/5970c3faab6832ed?q=Turbocad+LE&rnum=1#5970c3faab6832ed 
 
It seems like t-c keeps its properties in a database or list somewhere & is 
unable to communicate with the database. Since this appears (at this time 
anyway) to be the only bug in getting this app to work, I have some hope 
that it might be possible but I haven't got the skill to do it.  
 
Can anybody help?
