RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] which CAD program for a Mac?
Title: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] which CAD program for a Mac?
Yes,
in fact this morning I was reading about a number of CAD vendors for the mac,
and VectorWorks stood out (same company as Minicad). The problem is the most
basic license was about $1,300. There was another one from a company called
Deneba that was more reasonable (about $400 - $500) but seems too geared towards
architecture.
Is
there nothing more "low end" out there?
:(

I know the "which
CAD?" question has come up before, but I have a new twist. My wife just gave
me a new MAC, and I've always been a PC guy. Do any of our resident CAD
gurus have a recommendation? On my PC I've been using QuickCAD, which
is a cheap 2D "cad lite" from the makers of Autocad. I love it, although I'd
also like to do some 3D work. Key factors are ease of use, and low cost,
since this is after all a hobby.
thanks,
Alec

Hi Alec
I have been using Vector Works 8.5 on an iMac running OS 8.6, I am new to
CAD so I am still finding my way around the program,but so far so good, a
friend who studied industrial design rated it highly. I do not know if Vector
Works is available for OS X but do know it runs on OS 9.
