Aegis Draw uses the printer driver in preferences. I don't know if
they supply a Laserwriter driver, but I suspect that they do. It seems
to be a servicable two-dimensional drafting program, but it also seems
as if it could use a math coprocessor real bad -- an engineer said
it's not as slow as his drafting program on his  PC-Drone, but it
still takes about 15-30 seconds to redraw the screen.

What the world really needs is a good three-dimensional CAD package...
my local dealer could have sold an Amiga to a local geologist, if he'd
only had one (this geologist was writing a textbook, and wanted to
show cutaways at various angles).

expert says different, believe him.
