In response to Robert Carlson:
I have a Mac office and run PowerCadd. It transports into autocadd, a seat cost 'bout $1200.00 but there are no renewal costs. They have a 3D package for $300.00 I'm just starting to explore it. I can open up 25 years old projects with the latest version. If you are going to stay in the 2D world, This is worth a look. Goto Powercadd.com.
Our projects range between 2 to 8M are are somewhat complex.
