I am getting so very, very tired of this... deckplans.

I have seriously considred finding my install CDs for Windows 98 and spinning that up in a VM to run Heaven and Earth (it will really only run well on fairly old versions of Windows).

I don't know - I run Heaven & Earth 1.0.4 just fine on a Win10 machine (assuming we're talking about the one by Stuart Ferris. I've managed to keep reinstalling that on the last few machines I've had over the decades...somewhere I've got the installer I hope in the even this machine goes away)

I've had it running on XP but it wouldn't install on Win7. That might be because I had a 64 bit build, though.

Mine's 64 bit Win Pro - I just have it set to run in XP compatibility mode. Been doing that since, well, probably XP was running native.

And I did find the set up in case I move computers (although mine tend to last a decade or so at a time)
 
For the heck of it. I downloaded H&E just now onto my Win10 Pro 64-bit and ran both the installer and the app in WinXP mode. It runs great.
 
I like Win10 way better than Win7 on this machine. All my games and 3D software and Traveller stuff run much faster. I skipped Win8.

Anyway, maybe the key is installing Win10 upgrade over a Win7 upgrade over a WinXP full install on your Linux box? That way, you have every little thing, and all those Re-distributions of MSVC++ libraries, etc.
 
One I only heard of last week is libre cad - http://librecad.org/cms/home.html. It's a proper 2d cad program, so should behave like CC3. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on how you feel about 2d cad programs :)

There's a list of free vector programs for linux from 2009 at http://www.junauza.com/2009/09/free-vector-graphics-editors.html. No idea how many still exist.

Someone mentioned Dungeonographer. I just downloaded the jar from http://www.dungeonographer.com/free-version/ and ran it. It loaded and ran fine (although it grumbled a bit about a missing image file), so that's definitely a route worth exploring
