Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] which CAD program for a Mac?

I have used Minicad on the Mac. It is a good Cad program.
I've used both Autocad and Autocad Lt.  You can get a student's
price for Autocad [if you are a student  or  if you know one :-)
who can buy it for you ]  Autocad Lt. is good and probably the
same price range as Minicad, maybe a little more.
TurboCad is selling around $99.00 for the basic package and is
a great little package for the cost. It also has a file conversion
utility to DXFs for Autocad. There is an eDrafting package called
VDRAFT you might want to check out.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] which CAD program for a Mac?

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,
