Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight

DraftSight is used as a means of design across our entire company with multiple users. It is our two-dimensional drafting standard alongside SOLIDWORKS as our three-dimensional standard. Our company uses DraftSight to design parts and assemblies as well as to open DWG files rendered in SOLIDWORKS for review.

Pros

  • Layering options
  • Well-organized features
  • Simplistic user design

Cons

  • Make customization of layout easier
  • Many conversion issues between SOLIDWORKS' DWG-produced drawings and what loads in DraftSight
  • Make a more streamlined layering ability
  • Smart dimensions
  • Allows us to design quickly
  • Great for review of drawings
DraftSight is a less expensive option than AutoCAD but does not have the same intuitive features, such as smart dimensioning. SOLIDWORKS allows for easier 2D drafting of assemblies but is not as intuitive.
Product works well for traditional CAD but has lots of room for improvement such as smart dimensioning.
