I also recommend Claris CAD 2.0, but only if you can't afford Vellum (like me).
I tried out Vellum and a few other programs, and Vellum was easily the easiest
to use (and most powerful) in its price range.  Claris CAD is the next best,
although it started slowing down noticibly after about the 3rd layer (16-color
mode, IIcx).  I gues that's what you get for a program that needs to work on
any Mac all the way back to the Plus.  Vellum did not have any trouble with
multiple layers.

Actually, you didn't mention what type of Mac you have.  Vellum only runs on
a MacII or later, and you need tons of memory (I think 4meg).

If you have access to University prices, Claris CAD is the best deal (got
mine for $230+tax, but it's around $350 now).
