Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight

I am the sole person within our office capable of using drafting software. I use DraftSight in our office primarily to execute shop drawings and such for submittal purposes. I had prior experience with AutoCAD, so learning this software initially was very simple. This software keeps us from having to outsource and pay considerable costs for shop drawings.
  • Has very similar functionality to AutoCAD.
  • Very user-friendly.
  • Snapping features are a little touchy, even when using more specific SNAP commands.
  • Allows us to not have to pay high outsourcing fees to draft our own shop drawings.
DraftSight is very similar to AutoCAD in terms of functionality and user-friendliness. DraftSight is, however, much cheaper than AutoCAD, and is a great fit for our company since we don't use it on a daily basis.
DraftSight is very similar in functionality and friendliness to AutoCAD, but is considerably cheaper. For small businesses that don't use drafting software on a daily basis, DraftSight is your way to go.
