AutoCAD Anybody?\n\nThis strategy by Apple addresses the "classic case" of inability to adopt Mac. The classic case is this: I can run every piece of software I need natively on Mac OS X, except for the one I need the most.\n\nFor many in the CAD world, this happens to be AutoCAD. Yet, for others it happens to be programs like SolidWorks, CATIA, Pro/E and others. Maybe a user wants to use Autodesk's 3D Studio Max. All of this is possible now at native -- and very attractive -- speeds.\n\nThis isn't the same thing as native solutions for OS X. And that is what Mac users ultimately want. But for now, this is Apple's latest big move in its efforts to win the hearts and wallets of folks frustrated with the Windows computing experience.

I've been learning to use autodesk and autocad for the last 6 months now and I have used many resources for learning including my textbook, but for online information and resources the manufacturers site has a ton of information, tutorials, and provides assistance. Here is the link that I use (put it in favorites):\nhttp://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/aut...\nGood luck --> it is such a great program to use I don't know how I got along without it before.

Here is the latest download for AutoCAD 2007. I'ts the shareware version so eventually you will need too buy a regerstration key. The next URL is a link to a tutorial for AutoCAD 2007  \n\nhttp://www.download.com/AutoCAD-2007/3000-6677_4-10573934.html\n\nhttp://www.jtbworld.com/autocad2007.htm

I've used AutoCad professionally, and IMHO it's a bit steep in price for less than very high volume work.  Also, even if your drawings are done in Autocad, the company building your desk will often want drawings done in "industry standard" formats so their workers can understand you drawing with the minimum number of phone calls for explanations, etc.  \n\nI'd recommend that you take a beginners' course in Autocad at a community college in your area.  That way you'll pick up the core basics of CAD (and drafting standards in general)  quickly, you can get any questions answered from a real live person, and you'll be able to get pointers on other lower cost drafting software from the instructor.\n\n-------\n\nAutocad (and CAD programs in general) are a whole lot better than the old manual "pencil and paper" "drawing board" methods (been there, etc.), as a time saver, especially for very detailed or large (buildings, cars) projects.  But even with CAD, you still have to be able to convey the required information to the shop making your stuff - which is why I still recommend taking the course from a real person who should have a handle on real-world requirements for drawings.

ECAD is I presume: Electronic Computer Aided Design. \nBest, use AUTOCAD. Its drawing designs in a comp. Its mostly used by architects. For Eg. Drawing a blue print for\nyour house etc.

I used to work on something like this. If the hardware has GPIB support, i suggest you to use borland C++ builder. It has cool interface and easy to work.

Autocad is a huge program with very specific command line codes. I would think it would be very difficult to learn this anywhere else than a classroom.\n\nI have a friend who uses a program called "turboCAD"; the results are impresive, and he can produce 3-D models in a fractin of the time it takes me on AutoCAD.\n\nSo thats what I would recommend.\n\nIf you are still bent on AutoCAD and don't want to take a class, I would suggest buying a book or spending some time in your local library. Finding a website that would meet your needs would be quite difficult and may not exist.
