I think DS is an evolving tool that can allow us to work with 2D and 3D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes is difficult to find the right tutorial for 3D Process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is easy to transition from AutoCAD as most menu commands are the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
PDF import is not default in all versions like it is in AutoCAD LT even. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best aspect of DraftSight is its intuitive user interface, which seamlessly combines advanced CAD tools with easy navigation, allowing for efficient and precise design creation and modification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main drawback of DraftSight is its occasional performance lag when handling very large or complex files, which can slow down the design process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Affordability. User friendly. Decent level of support. Good UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a ton of plug-ins compared to AutoDesk products. Sometimes can feel a little clunky to install and update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is much like the familiar Autocad one, but it is affordable enough to use at home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Occasional crashes, especially when loading multiple files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Price is very reasonable for what you get, it is relativily easy to use, and is easy to export and import diffrent formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is sometimes hard to find information on the diffrent symbols and tables, also if you want to remove diffrent popups it is hard to do. example color selection to remove and change the standard color in your drop down menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a very helpful program for the design work that I do in the solar industry. The features are intuitive and there is a ton of information available online to assist with learning about all of the aspects of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The one thing that I think would be helpful would be to have tutorials embedded in the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DraftSight makes drafting so easy and simple. I use this everyday to design simple parts which are saved in DWG format that can easily be transferred over to sub-contractors. This saves so much time for both me and the sub-contractors for rapid turnaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Albeit being fantastic, the only downside for me personally is the User Interface (UI) could be a bit better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DraftSight is a one of the best cad tool available in the market with a polished interface compare to Autocad.This is a Dassault Systemes product so the technolgy used in this tool is state of the art technology.DraftSight is very compatible with SOLIDWORKS and Dassault Systemes Platform callled 3DEXPERIENCE.DraftSight Uses the same commands as of Autocad but the draftsight has more customization capablilty according to the need of designer.The application file size is around 500 MBs so it can be easily downloaded and installed in any machine.DraftSight come with flexible licensing like network lincense.

I would say that the problem with DraftSight is that the market awareness is not wide spread.
Therefore it is difficult to find the trained manpower and trainers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Greater Interoperability with SolidWorks. Easier output to SW and even other CAD tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Interface. The black and white is sad. I know you want to achieve the Professional look, however, my eyes would grow weary after a couple of hours working with your product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
