Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight
We use DraftSight in conjunction with our Cad Cam Program for work on a CNC machining center, design and creation of new products, and it is used by our sales personnel for verification of dimensions of different products in order to get the proper items to the customer. Great program, I like it better than the competition. Been working with CAD programs since Auto CAD came out with Version 12 for DOS and I find DraftSight more user-friendly with more features.
- Universal compatibility with other programs
- Ability to insert parts from individual manufactures
- The tool box feature is a definite plus
- It has minor problems when saving drawings - Crashes if you initiate certain commands while program is saving a drawing
- Compatibility
- Well worth the investment
