2d CAD Software

by Space_Penguin - 10/9/12 7:50 AM

Hey guys!

Was wondering what you guys think of Microspot MacDraft Pro? Thinking about purchasing the full version having used a friends computer for a few days and fallen in love with it! Im very keen to purchase but wanted a few more opinions before I commit, I've popped a link below if your aren't familiar with the product.

Hope you can help! happy

I can only guess why you didn't go with AutoCad.

http://store.apple.com/us/product/H8695LL/A is the grand daddy of CAD for such things. But there are folk that don't use AutoCad and just need a mechanical drawing app.

If so, my only comment is to be sure the drawings export to AutoCad.

If this is the old MacDraft of old, definitely a nice tool. See if they've been at it for over 20 years.
