I am thinking of getting AutoCAD ( Release 11  ) for my DECstation
and would like to get some opinion  on AutoCAD,

This is what I need in a CAD system......

1) I have a DECstation3100, Ultrix3.0
2) Must have 3D
3) CAD needs to have good wire-frame modeling,  able to do fillets... etc.
4) Solid modeling  not a must but will not get all too upset if included.
5) Speed ???  ("" Anybody used a AutoCAD on a decstation before ?? "")
6) etc....  Just tell me what you think of AutoCAD on the whole
7) Any other packages better than AutoCAD ( don't need big packages like
	CATIA or CADEM... must be small enought ot used is a Workstation )

Any suggestion, opinion or etc....( good or bad ) about AutoCAD please
post or e-mail to ::
		     internet :  lim@rcgl1.ohio-state.edu

thanks in advance....
