".CAD" files were produced by Drafix CAD, which seems to have been bought by AutoDesk to form the basis of AutoSketch. I have AutoSketch 5.01 (dated Feb 6 1998) originally from a magazine cover and first used on Windows 98. Now on XP. AutoSketch 5 was always problematic - inclined to crash. It writes .CAD and .SKF files as well as DXF and DWG but (possibly because the program can't cope with later hardware) I can no longer open old .CAD files with it. I have just used it to convert some old SKF files to DXF but would like to convert some others which I only have as CAD. If it can help anyone crack open the format, I could supply the same file in CAD, SKF and DXF forms.

Not sure whether your question is still current, but I am running Drafix CAD Pro 4.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium. No problem at all.
Drafix is a very good-natured program, I am now even using it on the latest iMAC within Windows 7 (I run Windows 7 under WMware Fusion simultaneously with OSX 10.6.2). Try this with another CAD program!
I keep using Drafix CAD since 1997 during all Windows versions since (except VISTA), and although I often have to use other CAD software for compatibility reasons, I still like it because it is fast and easy. Just a shame that there seem to be no conversion program for the DrafixCAD .cad file format...
