RealCADD is a CAD drawing program that allows you to draw, move, edit, modify lines, rectangles, ovals, text, arcs, polygons, and free lines. It also supporting filling and hatching of the shapes.
RealCADD is available in 2 versions, Standard ($95) and Professional ($135, Pro version only for Mac OS X). In Pro version, RealCADD can read and write DWG files from V12 to 2005.
If you're looking for a true vector based Computer Assisted Drawing program that's reasonably priced... Then RealCADD is made for you. RealCADD works like "MacDraw" but with many more

as an engineer, i am well informed about the cad apps. that are available that time. some are pure nonsense (e.g. realcadd, sorry), others expensive and/or non-intuitive... and none can be found that works exactly like my beloved classic 2D ClarisCAD.
that makes me verrrry sad.

I still use Claris CAD because I also can't find a replacement to match it's sheer usability.
......I want to urge the developer to stop what he is doing......crap like this will only damage the mac platform......buy real progs like Vectorworks and Cinema 4d and ditch joke apps like this.......
While I will agree with you in principle, having no idea about about the usability of this particular program, that when a developer releases a product, it should function, you should also realize that not everyone can afford or should need to spend $700 to plan their home office, move furniture around in their living room, design a deck box or landscape their house.
While plenty of useable, affordable CAD products exist on the Windows platform few if any exist for the Mac, and almost no affordable 3D products exist on the Mac platform.
Vectorworks began life as MiniCad and was affordable until it was bought out and decided to try to compete with AutoCad. That's when I "threw in the town" on it as an individual personal user. I simply could not justify constant expensive updates for my limited use. I have yet to find a suitable product to replace it. Too bad about ClarisCAD. It died a political death, but it was a great product. In any case I am still looking for or waiting for an affordable 3D Cad program for the non-professional user to replace MiniCAD - sort or a #D version of ClarisCAD. I suspect that there are others that feel the same way.
So if any developers are reading this, I hope that you take this "hint."
Now I've seen it all. A CAD program written in RealBasic (which makes it RealSlow). Seems to have the standard features of a CAD program, but it crashes continously and frankly seems rather expensive. For a "budget" CAD program, check out CADintosh or the Claris Draw like Intaglio.
