Yeah Illustrator's the way to go (although Superpaint had both a paint and a 
vector layer, which made it unique at the time…first piece of Mac software I 
ever purchased was a copy of Superpaint back when it was still published by 
Silicon Beach!)

When he goes looking for a CAD program, I'd suggest Cadintosh:

Graphic Converter, and does a lot of the dimensioning and suchlike that's more 
CAD-ish than Illustrator-ish.
