I'll have to give the demo a try one of these days.
As you were a MacDraw user, I think you will be at home
with the
user interface once you get the idea of multiple tools in a pop-up
menu in a single tool icon in the tool palette.
I'll admit that as someone that has used MacDraw and ClarisDraw for
as long as I have, I'm a bit resistant to change. So a somewhat
familiar user interface would go a long way to getting me to make the
move. Part of my problem is that anymore I only use ClarisDraw a few
times a year, as such the familiar interface *really* helps.
I don't think the CAD aspects of MacDraft get in
the way of use for
general drawing but of course I don't have an objective view of my
own work.
Well... The truth is the more I thought about it, my "general
drawing" tends to be a rather CAD like anyway. :-) Unless I'm doing
up forms.
