There are two commercial packages that specialize in generating plasmid
maps and drawing. One is Gene Construction Kit from TextCo Inc. It
is a complex package that supports the logic of plasmid construction
as well as the drawing. It lists for about $995.
A simpler program is Plasmid ARTIST sold by Clontech Labs. Inc in
Palo Alto. It is a MacDraw-like drawing program that is tuned for
giving very high quality printouts from Postscript LaserWriters.
It lists for $445.
