couple of ideas for the lister here who is still using Claris Draw.. I wonder if Inkscape would be a good place for you to go? Dunno about your legacy files, but Inkscape is a very nice draw app with an innovative approach to drawing relative to Illustrator; some similarities, but some very well-thought-out alternative approches as well. Inkscape requires X11, but development of an OS-X-native version is said to be underway. Then there are several flavors of Neo Office, 2 of which don't require X-11, and which have most impressive drawing features, including bezier curves and some nice "3-D" effects. maybe by now you've had it up to your eyeballs with helpful suggestions, but I thought I'd toss those out. nk
