I honestly don't know. I woulad have to demo MacDraft. One of my questions
would be what file formats does it support? I'm not doing CAD work, I
simply find that ClarisDraw does what I need, and I've been using it (and
before it MacDraw II) for close to twenty years.
My suspicion is that CAD software is better suited to what I need than
something like Adobe Illustrator (which I have but don't like). Prior to
MacDraw/ClarisDraw I would use DesignCAD on the PC.

Once I switch
to the Mac Pro I'll have to decide if I setup a Classic
Mac to run a couple apps (there is no replacement for me for
ClarisDraw aka MacDraw), or if I run them under an emulator). I've
stayed at 10.4.11 so I can continue to run Classic.
What do you need in MacDraw that is not in MacDraft or MacDraft PE (personal
edition) ? I must declare an interest here as I maintain MacDraft and am a
shareholder of the company which bought the source code of MacDraft from IDD
about 15 years ago.
