Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good CAD program for the Amiga? I tried some of
the demos on Aminet, but all were a bit naff (unless I missed some) or
had shoddy GUIs.

I'd like it to be able to produce technical drawings fairly easily, so
ideally would have tools related to that (e.g. exploding drawings, line
measurement, multiple layers, automatic conversion to different views [if
that's possible on simple enough drawings]) and decent, easily
understandable/editable toolbars - I don't want to have to faff through
20 levels of menus just to change a line style! Electronics schemtics
toolkits would be a nice bonus, but not a necessity.

It would also be very nice to be able to change the snap-to grid to
different angles (e.g. instead of always being in a square layout, it
could be set to 30 degrees for isometric drawings).

Oh, it also needs to work happily on a graphics card, and not have some
non-standard kind of interface.

Thanks.
