I currently work as a Graphic Designer for a small fashion company. The fashion illustrations we use to sell our product are all drawn by hand by myself. The company is looking into moving into the 21st century by using a CAD program . The only real CAD program I heard of is Rhino, but I've never had to use it before. I also know some use Illustrator. Since I am new to all of this, would someone out there have any progams they would recommend?
Thank You!!

Using Illustrator would be better as it's an universal program in illustration work. It also focuses on design, not the nuts and bolts that a full CAD program offers (I work with 3D programs and they're not designed for graphic artists, but modelers). Plus, you can design and also do the advertising work all in one program, and send it to the printers without messy conversions, either. With Photoshop, they work together hand and glove. Each are industry standards.
Spend more time on designing, not learning more graphics tools. It's how to get the edge on the competition.

Micrographx or PDM are the ones that most design houses use, of course besides hand drawing, which really is critical.
