Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight
It is being used by the engineering department in conjunction with Solid Works. The DraftSight application is primarily used to manage older drawings and was purchased for the purpose of dropping AutoCAD licenses.
It has been deployed at our manufacturing site for 2 years now. Initially, we started with one license and have since added five more.
