Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/12/2023 "Customer Service doesn't exist so how could I rate it????" 0/5 What do you like best about DraftSight? I thought it was cheap, but a pencil and paper would be more use and cheaper. It almost feels like Autocad, but then it doesn't. If it said on the web site that the basic license is crap, only buy the privilaged version it would be comparable to Autocad, and I would probably have got Autocad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DraftSight? I would like to import a pdf and trace an outline, but it struggles with that. Pdf disappears if I zoom in or out or pan or blurs to the the point of being unuseable. It has withdrawn license fee almost 2 weeks early, then won't turn on because it says it is not licensed, still over a week to expiry date, then won't activate with code I've been sent? No-one to speak to, no number on web site, unless I join a privileged subscription only area, this smacks of scam software, avoid like the plague!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DraftSight solving and how is that benefiting you? If it worked I would be able to know how it could help, but as it doesn't I can't review its performance, I can't review the customer support as it doesn't exist either the links on Solidworks direct you to Draftsight and they say it doesn't exist unless you are an enterprise customer whatever one of those is? They took my money for the license auto renewal feature, that seems to work even if the application doesn't. To be fair it did work last week and it was a cheap drafting tool that almost did all I needed it to do, as it doesn't display pdf's properly even on a 3070RTX GPU I would say it has some serious flaws if that is a feature you need?

RS Ricardo S. engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/28/2022 "Crashes all the time - It doesn't work" 0/5 What do you like best about DraftSight? The software doesn't work. They released a version that was broken, and I used the free trial of that version, not knowing it was broken. I ran it on a i7, 16GB RAM and RTX30 series (powerful computer) but the application constantly crashed. I lost unsaved work and wasted hours restarting the application, which did cost me a few hundred dollars on billable hours. I sent errors logs, which helped them to identify the issue that they claimed it is now resolved in DraftSight 2022 SP1. Technical support seems to be overseas with broken English and difficulty reading English. After 14 days, they said there is hotfix "DraftSight memory saturation hotfix" that could solve the problem. I asked for a trial license to try the fix but it was declined. Ask pratiksha.dahotre and gayatri.keskar for details. In summary, they released a broken version, which I helped to fix by providing feedback and error logs. They claimed it is fixed, but I can't test it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DraftSight? It crashes all the time. Consequences are loss of unsaved work and time on restarting and loading software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DraftSight solving and how is that benefiting you? It could solve all my CAD needs problems as an engineering firm, but the software doesn't not work.
