[comp.sys.mac] Program for drawing house plans

paul@aucs.UUCP (Paul Steele) (01/10/88)

Is there any Macintosh software designed specifically for designing
house (floor) plans.  I've tried to use MacDraw, but find it too time
consuming to add all the little details.  Thanks.

Try macDRAFT.  It's really great.  I use to use it when I worked at the Univ.
of Minn.  We used it for laying out floor plans of our computer labs and for
the floor plans of a new building.  Works great.

Paul: 
	There is a neat application, MiniCad (I believe the current version is
3.02), which adds the "little details" without much trouble at all. "Little
details" includes smooth arcs, line lengths automatically iserted at mid-line
and the ability to save libraries of figures (very useful for the drafting 
application you requested). I believe I got it through MacConnection, but 
the info on the author company is as follows:
			Diehl Graphsoft
			8370 Court Avenue Suite 202
			Ellicott City, MD 21043
			(301) 461 9488.
