After looking at the several CAD packages for the Amiga, I borrowed one from a friend of mine. As an engineer who uses a professional CAD package (ANVIL 4000) at work, I was pretty dissappointed by what I found. I seems that many people think that a drawing program that treats objects as entities instead of pixels is a CAD program. Not so! Does anybody know of a program that lets you modify entities after drawing them? (trimming to another line, etc..) What I would like is a program that is similar to ANVIL, or CADAM, etc, i.e., an engineering type professional CAD program. Oh, by the way, I am an aeronautical engineer, not an electirical engineer. CAD applications differ for these different fields. Any input is welcome. Doug
