Askon, a company engaged in CAD development since 1989, announced the start of open beta testing for the KOMPAС-3D automated design system version for the Linux platform. The product is intended for two-dimensional and three-dimensional design of parts, mechanisms, and structures used in machine engineering, instrumentation, and construction. It supports parametric modeling as well as object, sheet, surface, and solid modeling modes.
Previously, the product was only available for Windows, but it officially supported launching on Linux using Wine. The version being tested is notable for its transition to native support, operating without layers and compiled specifically for Linux. The testing, which will last until November 30th, covers KOMPAС-3D and KOMPAС-Graph 24 with all basic CAD tools, as well as applications for 'Cutting', 'Dimension Chains', '3D Model Recognition', and 'Catalog: Couplings'.
Installation packages in DEB and RPM formats have been prepared, tested for use in distributions such as Alt Workstation 11.0, Alt Workstation K 11.0, Astra Linux SE 1.8, and RED OS 8.0. Support is claimed for GNOME, Fly, KDE, and Mate desktop environments. Operation in other distributions and graphical environments is not limited, but the manufacturer does not provide official support and testing for them. Registration is required to download the packages. Testing participants are provided with a free 60-day temporary license.
