You can add plug ins that allow you to import/export files in standard autocad formats used in CAM. Once you have a need to go up to AutoCad - you have already used the drawing interface. I think I got QuickCad for $180.

At work we use a Mac platform. We use VectorWorks 2008 here in engineering. It's much easier then command line drawing like what is in AutoCad. I started CAD work on a MAC using MiniCad (product is now Vectorworks) and it was very easy to learn/operate. You can start with VectorWorks Fundamentals as an entry level product - and then upgrade as needed.

I recently ordered SolidWorks for $200 for home use.

Here's a free download demo if you want to try it out first.

Where did you find Solid Works for $200?
Was it a special student deal?
Thanks,
