What is the best CAD for Mac?

Hi Eric
Now after two weeks of a trail period I’m really upset. There is no way to find a soft for CAD on the Mac which follows these conditions:
#1 - handy for operation
#2 - not so sophisticated like AutoCAD
#3 - have some feature to deal with DWG&DXF
#4 - has at least a good implementation
#5 - cost for license matches the possibilities of a hobbyist.
I would like to buy RealCADD, but there are some ’but’s. Here I am now while I’m looking for RealCADD:
#1: It’s very nice and handy to use. If there is any experience how to create a drawing (technical) there is a fast way to understand what stands behind RealCADD. Really that is what I feel - I’ve tried TurboCAD for Mac, CADintosh, HighDesign, MacDraft Pro, QCAD and some more. For me I'll give a very big point for RealCADD.
#2: There is another very big point for RealCADD, no need to tell more.
#3: With RealCADD I got the best results. OK, that’s another big point!
#4: This is my trouble. I’m from Germany and I love my language. And for useable expressions there is a need of good translations. Like that:
„Selection on all visible layers“ is originally translated into „Markierung auf allen sichtbaren Folien“! I would like to translate it into „Auswahl auf allen sichtbaren Layern“. That is just one example of many more. So, what can I do? For me it’s very easy to make changes in my private copy of the program! Ok, but by the next update I will loose my changes! That is not the way I want. Furthermore there are some more items to be improved. So there is no a big point.
#5: RealCADD is not the cheapest. From my point of view, there is no need to be the cheapest. And therefore again a very big point for RealCADD.
I would like to start resp. continue my drawings with RealCADD if I can decide to award a big point for #4. Yesterday I made my predecision to install Parallels on my Mac, if I’ll not have a solution up to the end of the week. Eric, now it’s your turn.
