I've been using MacDraft for years, in its various iterations, primarily to produce blocking diagrams for theatrical performances. The latest version is even more powerful than the earlier ones. Sure, there's a bit of a learning curve, and I know I'm not using even half the power of the app, but it's versatility has won me over. There are plenty of other drawing applications available, but for the combination of features I want, plus a relatively low price, MacDraft takes the cake!

Ease of use combined with power.

I can't find any way to set up various preset groups (e.g., line weight x, line color y, line style z), so I have to select each one individually

We are Mac users, so there is a limited field selection for products in the drafting arena. The MacDraft programs have not let me down in the last 25 years of using it.

The MacDraft program system is a very complete program and easy to learn and use.

Only draw back in the 8.0 version is that they eliminated some of the keyboard shortcuts that I was accustomed to over the years.

MacDraft allowed me to work with clients by showing them what they knew they needed, but could not visualize until I drafted it for them. By listening to them, and then adapting their ideas and needs to pixels, I could draft their ideas in a meaningful way. MacDraft allowed me to do this quickly. I got a lot of signed contracts due to MacDrafts usability back when I knew the earlier program.

MacDraft has served me well over almost my entire construction career. It was intuitive and fairly easy to use in the earlier iterations. I made a lot of business happen because I could produce designs fairly quickly on MacDraft.

When MacDraft would no longer work on a newer version of MacOS, I was forced to upgrade. Not good for me. I suppose I was a "bad boy!" for not upgrading very often (that is the business model, right?), but I was way, way, way behind on the changes to the program. I do not know if I can ever catch up. I used to be able to draw amazing things - now I do not know where to go. This is probably my fault because MacDraft is for people that keep up. MacDraft is not very explanatory from within itself in a pedagogical way.

MacDraft Pro was my first introduction to basic CAD back in the 90s. Next to AutoCAD, I find MacDraft's approach to drafting and elevation plans a welcoming environment. Easy to use, edit information, and quickly build out drawings for a project.

The one feature/update I would like to see is the ability to have the spacebar toggle the move function and return to the previous tool selected. Quick keys are handy, but I find most other software I use has a similar function and would like to see MacDraft adopt it as well.

I use the program to draw house plans mostly. Also I like to use it to design interior finishes like tile and trims in unique patterns.

I had many versions of Mac draft. I started recently with version 5 and 6. The latest one version 7 is quite a bit different than the previous versions. I have been able to fine what I need but takes some practice to get work done fast again.

When converting to Autocad format the program has limitations. So I wish this feature worked better and others with auto Cad could review my work.
