A friend of mine wants to know if there are any CAD programs available for the Sun that have features akin to AutoCad...including the ability to read AutoCad files...IGES, etc. Pointers to a reasonably priced version or even PD stuff would be great. Respond e-mail, net, or whichever way you wish. ---Prem S. (sys admin for geomag.gly.fsu.edu)

We use it on our VAXstations (under VMS) and it does run on Suns as well. It is VERY large (both run-time and in terms of resident disk space usage), but it seems to work very well. They do give good breaks to Edu site also... -- Art Stine Sr Network Engineer Clarkson U

It's also available for Apollos, VAXstations, and PC/RTs, as well as the usual PC and Mac platforms. AutoCAD is priced the same for all platforms, and drawing files are interchangeable across all platforms. Autodesk is in Sausalito, CA. Call them for more info.
