Good Macintosh Drawing Programs???

Mark Eatherton

OK, so it's been a few years since I asked this question, and hopefully some young developer out there has come out with a simple drawing program for use with Mac computers.



I have Visio on my PC's, and it works fantastic, but is not Mac compatible, short of running Boot Camp or some other alternative Windows program.



Does any of you Mac users out there know of something that is directly Mac compatible, like Paint for Macs? Siggy, HR?



TIA

I run Parallels

on my mac, so it can run pretty much any program. I think Siggy runs it also. The HydroniCAD and HDS programs works fine with this combo.

Thanks HR...

I am trying dearly to wean myself off of MicroShaft programs :-)



Funny thing, when I bought my Apple iPhone last year, I asked the technogeekkid working the counter if anyone had come out with a good. simple Mac drawing program, and he looked around to make sure no one was within ear shot and said "You'll have to go to Micro Soft for a good program, Mac doesn't have one..."



And here, all the promoters of Macintosh tout its graphic capabilities...



Thanks for responding.

we use PowerCADD

though I don't know if it qualifies as "simple".



Sketchup is pretty good for 3-D stuff too but for piping diagrams it's not quite ready yet.

Are you running Windows on the Parallel program to run HydroniCAD and HDS programs? Or are running straight off Parallel? And what Version of Parallel do you have?

Not sure if they have a piping pkg

but these guys have been doing Mac for a long time. Only problem is they are (real) pricey.
