I thought the Greeks make "The Machine."

Well I mean to design and develop mechanical stuff

Use sketch up pro, rhino or autocad

Sounds too technical for a Mac

Are you familiar with any CAD programs.

If you're just looking for 2D CAD, check out Draftsight:
https://www.3ds.com/products-services/draftsight-cad-software/free-download/
It's made by the same folks that develop SolidWorks and is more or less a copy of AutoCAD as far as 2D functionality and is offered as a free license.

Used autocad for years and hated every second. Used VectorWorks and fell in love. Never looking back.

Vectorworks looks like it's focused on architectural design, may not be the best fit for someone looking to do mechanical design.

Somewhat but I can learn on the fly.

I actually use it for sound engineering and lighting design.

Does VectorWorks work on a Mac?

Forgot to say that I have bootcamp on my MacBook Pro with Windows 7 Professional on it.

Autodesk Invetor or Solidworks is better than straight CAD programs for machine design. You can get a evaluation copy of Inventor for free... (or there are sites to download the cracked version).

I use creo parametric now. I liked solid works more.
Get 3D stuff.
