Draftsight offers more options, choices, and tools that adapt to your specific needs and preferences, as well as true design freedom that allows you to work the way you want. With Draftsight, you can effortlessly move from 2D drawing to 3D modeling and back to optimize your designs. With its seamless integration with SOLIDWORKS, and especially SOLIDWORKS PDM, it easily manages your DWG designs from initial idea to final print. It gives you the freedom to follow your imagination, no matter your business or project.

DraftSight is an ideal application for technical drawing, especially since it is DXF DWG compatible. This creation software is a real CAD tool available in Windows and Mac versions. DraftSight also allows companies exasperated by the high cost of licenses and upgrades of 2D CAD software (forced to take out subscriptions or not satisfied with their investments in 2D CAD) to save money.
