"AutoCAD-Like Experience with Great Value for 2D Drafting"
5/5
What do you like best about DraftSight?

The best thing about DraftSight is how closely it mirrors AutoCAD's interface, shortcuts, and command structure. Since the commands and workflow are almost identical, there was zero learning curve for our team—we could transition and start working immediately without needing retraining. It handles native DWG files effortlessly and provides all the essential 2D drafting features we need at a much better value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

Sometimes a few features and workflows differ slightly from AutoCAD, so it took me a little time to get fully used to them. Additionally, certain deep customization options are not completely identical to AutoCAD, which can occasionally require minor adjustments in how I set up my workspace.

Response from Eddie Brooks of DraftSight

Hi Quoc, It's great to hear that DraftSight has made the transition from AutoCAD so straightforward for your team! We're glad the familiar commands, shortcuts, and interface allowed everyone to get up and running without additional training, while helping reduce licensing costs. We also appreciate you highlighting how easily your team can work with existing DWG and DXF files when collaborating with clients and suppliers. Your feedback about differences in certain workflows and customization options is equally valuable, and we understand how important a familiar, flexible workspace is to your productivity. Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback and for choosing DraftSight!
