OH, I dont know. Draw+ is a CAD package. MacDraw is a drawing package. They
are different.

Just because Videoscape 3D exists doesnt mean that nobody's going to buy
the whole slew of other animation or 3D packages. (No flames about V3D, yes
its a bitch to use, but it was the first out, and IS quite spectacular, esp.
for rendering speed)

When somebody asks me "whats the best 3D animation package for the Amiga", I
always fall back on Bill Volks answer: "There isnt one. If you are serious
about this stuff you'll get 'em all"

Just as you wouldnt want to use Draw+ for simple drawing, you sure as hell
wouldnt want to use MacDraw (nice as it is) for serious CAD work, using
big plotters.


If there's room for both Aegis Images and Dpaint, then surly there is room
for a simple draw package. I'd buy one.
