While it is still not as good as Illustrator at what it does and still not
quite as good as Claris CAD at what it did, I found IlexSoft's HighDesign to
be reasonable value in this category. Download and checkout their demo, it
certainly bests VersaCAD, Graphite, AutoCAD, Canvas, PowerCADD, ArchiCAD,
MacDraft, and VectorWorks when considering both value and ease-of-use.
That said, there is still A LOT of room for improvement.

Grant
