Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight

I use DraftSight every day and really like it. My reason for the low score is due to the inability to use it at home without deactivating it at work so I can activate it at home and vise versa. It is a real pain to do this especially if I forget to deactivate it at home, then I'm screwed at work. I would give this 5 stars if this issue were fixed. I did call in to discuss this with people at DraftSight, but their answer back to me was to purchase another seat if I want it at home. I work from home as well as at work and have been very frustrated with all I have talked with. I'm not trying to steal something, just make better use of my time. I use another software for my design work and they offer me the ability to have one copy at home and one at work. I have looked into other drawing programs and am not far from doing away with DraftSight due to this simple thought process.
  • The classic mode emulates AutoCAD almost identically.
  • The ability to save in many different formats is great.
  • Ease of plotting.
  • The ability to have one copy at home and one at work.
If I could get a copy for work and one for home, it would be 5 stars across the board with me.
