"A Solid CAD Solution"

5/5

What do you like best about DraftSight?

We decided to use Draftsight to replace AutoCAD as our autoCAD licensing was costing us a fortune and we can do the same things with Draftsight, so the best feature of Draftsight for us, is the price. Additionally, it was an easy transition from AutoCAD to Draftsight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

There are some additional features in our previous software, but we were able to work around any small shortcomings we found in Draftsite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Familiar CAD Interface with Reliable DWG/DXF Compatibility"

3.5/5

What do you like best about DraftSight?

What I like most about DraftSight is its familiar CAD interface and reliable DWG/DXF compatibility. It allows me to quickly open, edit, annotate, and share 2D drawings while keeping a practical connection with my broader SOLIDWORKS design workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

The main limitation is that some advanced features and specialized workflows require a higher license level or additional configuration. The interface is generally familiar, but a few commands and settings could be more consistent and easier to discover. Improved customization and clearer guidance for new users would make the overall experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DraftSight solving and how is that benefiting you?

DraftSight solves the need for a reliable and accessible 2D CAD environment within my broader 3D design workflow. It helps me open, edit, annotate, and exchange DWG and DXF drawings with suppliers, customers, and production teams. This reduces compatibility issues, speeds up technical revisions, and avoids using a separate high-cost CAD platform for everyday 2D tasks. As a result, I can manage legacy drawings and 2D documentation more efficiently while keeping the overall design process connected to SOLIDWORKS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
