[comp.sys.atari.st] cad packages

cagle@cbnewsc.ATT.COM (robert.cagle) (04/14/90)

I want to purchase a CAD program for my 1040ST
to help me design some woodworking projects.

I would like to stay close to $100, so I think
Dyna-Cadd should stay out of the dicussion.

I have read various reviews about Beta-Cad, Cad-3d, 
and Drafix, but haven't found any Chicagoland ST dealers
that have any demo packages to look at.

Any words of advice/warning from ST CAD users?
Anyone use their ST for woodworking design?

I think CAD-3D (if this is the one by Antic) would be out, it is not really 
designed for technical drawings (measurements and stuff).  I have read good
reviews on Beta-CAD, and it is cheap.
