[QUOTE="TIF, post: 4867667, member: 56859"]Nice job, Jay! After struggling to engrave metal dies I thought I'd try designing fantasy ancient coins in a CAD program, then have metal dies made from them. Over the last few years I've sporadically researched various programs and had picked one out that would be best for this type of work. I put the whole thing on hold and when I went back to review the software, naturally that company is no longer around :(. I'm sure there's a terribly steep learning curve for the software plus there's the additional complication of finding one that works on a Mac. I never could decide whether to buy a PC for this purpose (expensive!! needs high-end innards). Too many decisions :(.[/QUOTE]
