Draftsight is a fully functional 2D tool we use alongside SolidWorks to maintain our legacy data and work with customer supplied dwg and dxf files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the commands are slightly different to AutoCad and so a little learning curve is to be expected but 99% the same Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes it easy to create 2D drawings and is available for multiplatform software (Windows, Mac, Linux), and most Commands are the same as AutoCAD. Easy to edit and friendly to operate the command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say anything because I didn't face any difficulties till now. The price is a little bit higher compared to other drawing software. And 3D functions are not suitable as other 3D Programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very similar to AutoCAD.
The cost is less than any other CAD programs.
Good for small businesses with small budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software still has many issues, mine crashes all the time.
I have asked for help for 4 months now with no response. They direct me to a site that no longer there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and an economical solution for Autocad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing comes to mind. Setting up page takes some time and every time starting up the program and starting a new drawing all line types have to be reloaded Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DraftSight is every bit as good as AutoCAD. We tried it and loved it. The basic program is so much less than AutoCAD LT that it is almost a no brainer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We ended up staying with AutoCAD LT because we are using sheets. In order to manage sheets, we would have had to step up to DraftSight Premium, which is more expensive than AutoCAD LT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very light, high-speed operation environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No flexible interface into SOLIDWORKS such as 3D Color model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple, Autodesk alternative. Great value, at least until now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Printing is unreliable. Some tooling is complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to navigate through the software as a SolidWorks user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve is long, need to spend some time to get used to it if new to CAD software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
