If someone is interested of SW2011 you can test it in this way: - Install SW2011 on your real windows xp/vista - Boot to linux + get latest wine 1.3.17 - Install winetricks vcrun2005 vcrun2008 gdiplus - Start SolidWorks installation (it will crash in few seconds) - After installer crashes take a hard copy+paste of your SolidWorks installation (C:\Program Files\SolidWorks) from your windows partition and place it to ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SolidWorks - wine swspmanager.exe I did not get drawings to work but modelling seems to be working.
