Can DraftSight REALLY replace your Beloved AUTOCAD?

DraftSight is a fully capable 2D Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) application. Unlike other tools in the marketplace, DraftSight is a feature-rich design environment that conforms to all engineering scopes (mechanical, electrical, architectural, maker and hobbyist) and at all levels. Capable of handling everything from the most basic 2D drawings to complex building layouts, electrical layouts, and 3D modeling. DraftSight provides everything you need to create, markup, and edit 2D and 3D drawings.

It’s hard to argue that AutoCAD isn’t expensive when there’s a product just like it out there available for the least price. If you’re still roaming in a 2D world and feel like saving yourself some money, DraftSight might be the best tool for you.

DraftSight, brought to you by Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, has been trusted by millions of users worldwide. DraftSight provides a familiar, intuitive 2D drafting experience with options for advanced productivity tools, 3D design capabilities, parametric constraints, and flexible licensing options including perpetual licenses and network licenses for organizations with multiple users or sites. DraftSight’s command and file compatibility and support for legacy drawings and data like Dynamic Blocks facilitate a quick transition from AutoCAD with a minimal learning curve.

The main advantages of DraftSight over the AUTOCAD (DraftSight V/S AUTOCAD) have been listed below:
