Similar to other drafting softwares I am familiar with so it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
short keys are not as intuitive as I'd like so sometimes it takes a little longer to figure out those shortcut commands since I am not as familiar with DraftSight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it's functions mirror / copy those of autocad. Basically zero learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a paid mac user the platform suffers from crashes and lack of updates to the latest OS.
My current gripe is that Custom page sizes for plotting cannot be made basically rendering the software very annyoing without big workarounds.
Customer support is lacking as I've made several attempts to get this resolved with no luck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a clean upto date interface. Highly compatible with many earlier releases of dwg files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I cannot in all honesty think of anything to add here. Possible make it even easier to customise? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. It features the option to change user interface to classic, with toolbars. That is one of the reasons why I switched from AutoCAD.
2. Price.
3. Supports all *.DWG files, no compatibility issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Standard Ctrl+S combination is not available for a progress saving!
2. Interface settings (like toolbars) reset and it need to be customized manually after each product update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good interface to use and smoothy transistion from Autocad to Drafsight.
It is good for intergration with PDM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My current revision is 2023, it is hard to handle copy/paste for big drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of use, and the similarites to AutoCAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only downside i have ran into is, when working with other users in older platforms you have to backsave everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Draftsight automation stretigies was the key takeaway for me from the Draftsight Live 2024 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have to constantly reassign the paper space sheet size for drawing, and I also have other printing problems sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use, Supported formats and ease of implementation, provides good performance on older systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Restricted to installtion on only one machine. It would be even more useful if I could onstall on both my corprate machine and home machine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very light on the machine and easy to use almost everyday, nothing is too complicated. Allows saving in a lot of different formats. Very affordable compared to Autocad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Layer management could use a redesign. It is too cumbersome currently to move layers or freeze or delete them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to license or move licenses. We have had some cases where licenses get locked to PCs but support has helped promptly. The auto renew process works well for us too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dont love that all my licenses renew at different intervals and I dont have a central source of truth for all licensing. We have a lot that are grandfathered so moving to a new license model would be expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
