CAD Programs

Saw the post regarding TurboCad. I am wondering what other CAD programs folks here use that are for the MAC?

I use Maya - not a CAD program, but mainly used for 3D visual design and pre-visualization. Much of the visual effects you see in the movies is done in part with Maya. And yes I am a professional visual effects and motion graphics designer.

I use an orginal version of Vellum/colbolt/graphite called drawing board. It was orginally under $100 and now they want 700+ for it. It's discontinued but great for 2D stuff. drafting assistent. Made by Ashler.

I don't know anything about their mac version, but based on what you say it sounds very much like the windows version. If so, I'll give this a big "me too". Great program with very intuitive operation (rare for CAD programs in my experience). I wish they would release it to the public domain.
