"App Store Version - It Just Keeps Getting Better
The EazyDraw App Store version (3.7.4) provides the same basic features as the standard version (version 3.6.4) with a few changes that are summarized in the following paragraphs.
Most importantly the App Store version is a 64 / 32 capable, the standard version is based on the older 32 bit technology. This provides faster performance, greatly improved accuracy (12 decimal places compared to 5 decimal places for 32 bit Apps), and potential to access larger drawings.
The App Store version supports multi-threading making many of your drawing activities faster an some instantaneous. There is even a new Bundle file format for large multi-layer drawings. This new format stores each layer in an independent package file which allows layers to read and write simultaneously on multi-core CPUs. This means a large drawing will open more quickly.
No support for the Classic drawing formats. The App Store version does NOT support the PICT graphic format, and does NOT open MacDraw, ClarisDraw, or AppleWorks drawings. The standard release of EazyDraw which is still available at the EazyDraw online store provides support for these formats. Email EazyDraw support if you require further clarification.
All basic drawing functions, (menus, palettes, tools, ...) are the same for both versions; explore the full EazyDraw web site to learn more.
So jump right in with a very reasonable purchase price at the App Store (use the Back button on your browser), or try the traditional Free Demo of our standard version. There is no "free demo" of the 64 bit version; that is available exclusively at the Mac App Store."

However, it was much harder to use than going to an emulator, using MacDraw, dumping to .ps, and then printing using Preview.
Though I am impressed with the flood of preferences, major portions of the programs' interface seriously need to be brought under mac-like standards, and severely tightened-up. I taught myself MacDraw in minutes, without a manual... I still, after nearly ten years can operate it without thinking... (and without having used it for nearly a decade). EazyDraw does not have that, and many interface layouts specifically make things harder.
As an example, the foating toolbar is huge and ugly, it should resemble the old MacDraw palette, or the current adobe palettes... Rulers and Gridlines should be unobtrusive but are far from it, even when trying to use the prefs to make them that way (complete failure).
Though I suspect there might be some "Claris" copyrights to be wary of, a program that is supposed to be the modern successor of ClarisDraw should really have all the best interface elements already built-in, and moreover, tweaked for the OSX generation. Sadly I didn't see ANY of that.
I definitely want to keep this in mind for printing old documents without any roundabout tricks, but since it failed to recognize a typeface in an old document that's actually present (and replaced it with another), I really don't want to chance editing things that work fine in an emulator, in exchange for a document that is solely reliant on this software.
Keep working on this, it definitely could be a worthy successor, but has far to go, IMHO.
