Actually it is for Linux and Windwos. It uses WX Widgets as its widget set. The HeeksCAD site lacks on screenshots, as long as they are keeping a good work on the software...

Diferent from Salome, HeeksCAD has much more functionalities from CADs like Pro/Engineer and SolidWorks . I have around 8 years of experience in P ro/Engineer and 5 years using SolidWorks , I had no difficult to ...
