Hi, there are a few I think but I've never used any of
them, I'm not a CAD person.

A quick google came up with a few links of interest
such as the CAD on Linux mailing list homepage
http://www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/webpage?webpage_id=cad-linux
(you may need to reassemble this url if it spreads
over 2 lines)

plus:

http://www.cycas.de/
http://www.graphiteone-cad.com/en/index.htm
http://www.linuxcad.com/

and 2 I've actually heard of:

http://www.ribbonsoft.com/qcad.html
http://www.varicad.com/

VariCAD and QCAD are the most well known I think and
therefore probably the most fully featured.

HTH,
