"Draftsight is my go-to for electrical diagrams"
What do you like best about DraftSight?

I've tried a few different software options, and Draftsight is the best value that I've found for simple electrical and pneumatic control diagrams. There is much more sophisticated software out there, but for what I do (simple diagrams a few times a year), Draftsight works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

Basic electrical elements (relays, switches, fuses, etc.) are included by default as blocks, but I end up making a lot of custom blocks for things like power supplies, drives, and PLCs, which takes a lot of time.

I have also found that the process for printing multiple sheets or saving as PDF to be pretty clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Meaghan Murphy of DraftSight

Daniel,

Thank you for your detailed review of DraftSight. We truly appreciate your feedback and are so glad to hear that DraftSight serves as your go-to for creating simple electrical and pneumatic control diagrams.

We've taken note of your comments about custom blocks and the process for printing multiple sheets or saving as PDF. Feedback like yours helps us to continue refining and improving our product to better serve our users. We are sharing your feedback directly with our product team.

Thank you again for choosing DraftSight.

"Easy to use"
What do you like best about DraftSight?

It is a user-friendly software that allows me to draw and import images in underlay! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

I have nothing to complain about regarding the software itself. I have more of a language issue on the forum. What I regret is that there isn't a hotline when there are problems to solve. For me, this is the major downside because I've had problems lingering for 2 years without a solution... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Meaghan Murphy of DraftSight

Isabelle - thank you for your feedback. We're delighted that DraftSight’s user-friendly tools help you manage architectural plans effectively.
