# DraftSight vs Autodesk DWG TrueView vs Autodesk Viewer: which is actually worth using for day-to-day design review?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">This exact three-way comes up a lot, so here's what the reviews say about each for everyday design review rather than the spec sheets.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/draftsight/reviews"><strong>DraftSight</strong></a> (4.2, 209 reviews): The heaviest of the three, and reviewers value that you can view and also edit DWG, with strong performance on large professional files and a clean, low-cost interface. It's the pick if "review" sometimes turns into "make a quick change."</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/autodesk-dwg-trueview/reviews"><strong>Autodesk DWG TrueView</strong></a> (4.4, 75 reviews): Free, focused, and reviewers like it for accurate viewing and printing plus converting DWG to other versions or PDF. Limited on 3D and it can choke on large files.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/autodesk-viewer/reviews"><strong>Autodesk Viewer</strong></a> (4.3, 62 reviews): The browser one, best when you need zero install and quick sharing with people outside your team across many formats.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">So it kind of splits by job: editing capability (DraftSight), free DWG print and convert (TrueView), or browser sharing (Viewer). For your day-to-day, which won out, and did you end up keeping two of them side by side rather than picking one?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;The way this splits by job rather than by winner is the right read: editing capability, free print and convert, or zero-install browser sharing solves three different problems. A lot of teams end up keeping two of them side by side rather than forcing one to cover everything. Which won out for you probably says more about whether the review turns into editing than about the tools themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
