[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 51840, member: 126"] Re: CAD/ drafting program for Mac Yup, 2D cad is pretty mature and there are a number of free packages that are serviceable. 3D cad gets a little more complex, and before investing in one, you need to define or clearly understand who needs to read your output. I did a fairly significant design using an inexpensive 3D PC package from turbocad. When dealing with some output file format issues, I bought the MAC version of turbocad 3D since they supported more/different output file formats. Not only was this disappointing, but the two software packages were night and day different. Not just subtle differences to deal with MAC or PC interfaces, but apparently different software programs sharing a common brand name. JR [/QUOTE]
