In other respects, MacDraft cleverly reflects its target users' examples is its use of scales. The workspace can quickly get quite cluttered, and it can take more steps to produce a relatively simple element than it should. Where the user interface really shows its age is in the absence of mod cons such as docking palettes and right-click contextual menus. Still, MacDraft lets you get the job done without gilding the lily.
If you're accustomed to the likes of Adobe CC, the lack of polish could feel a bit tedious. If you're old enough to remember MacDraw, you'll be right at home with the bitmapped tool icons, simple rulers and rudimentary palettes. What hasn't changed is the way it looks and works. This version is compatible with OS X 10.9 Mavericks and has improved DWG/DXF file support. Additions include gradient fills and strokes, swatch libraries, a new star tool, drag and draw feedback, and one-key shortcuts.
This is the first major upgrade since we last reviewed MacDraft Pro in 2010. Created by UK-based Microspot nearly 30 years ago, it's a mature product that retains a distinctly retro look and feel. MacDraft Pro is a 2D drawing app tailored for floor plan production, and is aimed at architects, kitchen designers, self-builders and the like.
