I also enjoy archinect. It's a great site with a lot of resources for and interaction among architecture and design students, professors and professionals. Great forums, as well.

Good luck!

Hi apinelo:

Tuttle more than likely has a better suggestion here, but have you ever used

Cadintosh?

Have used it once and,I think it is a bit bad...

Some people told me that Archicad,tuboCad and vectorworks are the best options for Mac,but I would like to have some opinions fom those who work with these programs...architects,students..Which are the diferencies between them and autocad itself..

But thanks anyway

If you search the archinect forums for "mac software" you will find 44 topics with hundreds of responses to similar questions, some of which link back to topics here in Apple's Discussions. If you register with archinect, you can ask your own questions.

In the meantime, post your questions about CAD software for OS X in the Using Tiger forum (or in the forum dealing with Usage for your hardware, whatever that may be) where you may find more focused attention to your issue. This forum, as its title suggests, isn't intended for technical questions, but for feedback on Apple Discussions itself.

Good luck.
