Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight

I use it strictly for my own benefit. I have an offsite design engineer that does the bulk of the design work, then he sends it to me and I'm allowed to review and tweak as needed. Being around ACAD for 20 years but never actually learning it completely and the ease of this software to learn has been excellent. And the help references are really good.
  • Ease of learning
  • Easy to navigate
  • User friendly
  • I'll leave that up to the experts, I like it just like it is.
  • Payback came real fast!

DraftSight Support

I've never contacted support. It says to skip this question if you have never contacted support, so I don't know why it's asking me to give an explanation and not letting me skip the question. And I'm having a hard time aiming for a word count of 50 or more so it'll let me move on.
