Hobby CAD program recommendation? Where is spread sheet on iMac
Hello
Originally I was replying to J.C. in another thread about software. The question was answered with a star so not sure if J.C. or other question answering types will look at it so I am requizing here.
Sorry this is a bit stream of couciosness but my basic question is: what app has drawing capability freehand and CAD, desk top publishing enough to take notes and add pictures and can calc with a spreadsheet.
The following is how I arrived at the above question.
Is there a basic spread sheet that came with my 2007 17' iMac? I just use the one on my old computer. Looking through the apps I just see a demo of Office. Back in the day I purchased Wings for my Mac SE to have a spread sheet (didn't come with an s sheet).
Any recommendations on a desktop publishing app with drawing capability that integrates with above spreadsheet? I use it for taking notes and designing things for hobby. Metal working, furniture, etc.
I have Publishit Easy on Mac SE. I was writing employee manuals back then. Then my life took other turns and now I am back as if dropped from the past into the future. Help!
Back then 1989 when I was shopping for a computer, at the Mac store I said I wanted one I could upgrade to be able to use a basic cad program. Rather than educate me they just laughed. I bought else where. They called the store microage I fondly remember them as stoneage. They are out of business. No wonder.
Within a few years my friend was using a cad program on his laptop. Stoneage had no vision.
Perhaps I want a Cad program now. Still need to integrate/do the above with it. Should I enter this as a question in another forum here?
I assume any cad I would get now would be a bit over the top for what little I want to do (no cam use).
sincerely
