I Wan't to play around with an "AutoCAD Clone". Which one should I pick?

(1/4) > >>

Rustabout:
Musts:


   -Has to have a command line;
   -Has to use AutoLISP and preferably, Visual LISP extensions;
   -Must produce stable .DWG files;
   -And obviously, should be much cheaper than AutoCAD.

Preferences:


   -Can make dynamic blocks (with parameters, actions, attributes, etc...) that have equal functionality to AutoCAD's blocks. Or is able to achieve the same
    usefulness we get from dynamic blocks through some other means.
   -3D is included for a reasonably cheap price.


I think most of the more prominent products now include dynamic blocks (some where lacking before). Curious to hear some thoughts from people experienced in using the other CAD's out there.

Cheers!

CAB:
If you need an add-on you may want to look at https://cadavenue.com/mech-q.htm

GDF:
BricsCAD

CAB:
BTW I think Dynamic Block creations is still prohibited under a patent held by Autodesk.
Bricscad can edit the blocks:  https://help.bricsys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006470354-Dynamic-Blocks
 

Atook:
I think BricsCAD v20 includes support for parametric blocks, not dynamic though.
