The best thing I can say is look in the July issue of MacUser magazine.
They rate ALL of the available (at the time) CAD packages for the Mac,
along with some related programs.

If you can give me a USNAIL mailing address, I'll send you a BIG envelope
I got when I was looking into CAD packages on the Mac for my father.
You can then send in the "more information, please" letter and get even
more info than I can send you.  If you can't give me a USNAIL address,
I guess I can EMAIL you a personally typed transcript, but I'd rather
not (if I can avoid it).

BTW, I posted this because there might be others interested in this
subject -- so don't bitch at me for posting something that you feel I
should have EMAIL'ed.
