I have been ridiculed for even thinking of using something like Lightwave, or another Amiga 3D program for CAD, but still think it could be done if someone would write some CAD specific tools as an add-on for Lightwave, Imagine, or Aladdin 4D. It sure would be nice to only have to learn one program and be able to use it for both 3D animation, 2D & 3D CAD drawings and modeling with "walk-throughs/fly-throughs" that most clients want these days.

Well, I have the only "true" 3d CAD package that was available for the Amiga:
DynaCadd from CRP Koruk.
I always wanted an Amiga raytracing software capable of importing .dxf and/or .cgm format(s).
Then I could export a dimensioning-wise precise 3d-model from DynaCadd to e.g. Reflections (MoonZoom), Imagine, TurboSilver, Real 3d or Maxxon Cinema 4d and render/animate it there...
