Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight
We use DraftSight for 2D drawings to design and build products. We use the drawings for assemblies, as well as breaking out individual parts for machining and laser cutting.
- Files sometimes become corrupt while open, so you cannot save your drawing.
- The Home panel pops up every single time you open the program. It provides you with details on how to purchase DraftSight, even if you already have.
- Little quirks seem to come and go randomly. For example, panning using the scroll wheel sometimes locks, so releasing the scroll wheel does not end the pan function.
- For $100 for a year of the standard license, it's very economical.
- A 2D drawing program is required for our manufacturing shop.
