Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight

DraftSight is typically used by myself but another employee sometimes needs to use it. We use it to create the digital files needed to manufacture a variety of parts with our lasers, water jet, and router. It saves the company money over some of its competition.

Pros

  • 2D DWG files
  • Reads AutoCAD and several other formats
  • Robust features for the price

Cons

  • Better documentation; it's not bad, just some things aren't super clear to me
  • In the past, updates have switched my toolbars around but seems to be OK the last few updates
  • I want the little bomb icon back for the 'explode' tool
The other products have many more features that we don't need at this time and are way more expensive.
Good for creating dimensioned, accurate drawings/DWG files for our machines to use. Not as good as CorelDraw for artsier stuff--lettering, engravings, etc.
