Can anyone recommend a good CAD program for use on Mac OS X?

Best thing is the price.

Sketchup is great, and works on the Mac. I wish they had a Linux version as well.

I can see using sketchup for conceptualizing a project, but it doesn’t seem to me that it would work to create working drawings, etc. How do you guys use it?

Like this.

Photobucket

and it comes in pretty handy if you decide to change things.

Sketchup is a great tool for final production drawings.

Cool, thanks. Can you print from sketchup or do you have to take a laptop into the shop?
