A friend of mine has asked me to look into general CAD systems for
his small architecture firm.  Yes, his request was indeed that general.

I often see various mentionings of CAD packages in the Macish'
magazines, but very little actual information about the specific programs;
most packages seem to be more *mechanically* oriented.

If you have used any of the current CAD systems, or know of any that
are coming out, I would greatly appreciate any information (specs or
anecdotal) about the various systems.  I'm not sure of the features he
is looking for, but I'll review the posts I receive with him and post a
summary of the information to the net.

Any information you could send would be very helpful; also, does any
information about plotters, or 'large scale rendering' devices (30"X42")
would be great.

Please send your info to:  mm3d@andrew.cmu.edu.

Thanks in advance,

matt
