It is easy to learn and use, and its numerous features give us a ton of options. Being easy to learn made it easier to accept. Can open any DWG format, and the tool box feature is a definite plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software can be buggy from time to time. The interface could be optimized to provide more realestate for dawings. Printing line weights can sometimes be a guessing game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The layout of the icons and the ability to export to a number of file formats Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The fact there is not live assistance and having to deal with Forms for assistance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to use and learn. It is also quite a powerful software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much I can say on why I don't like it. I guess small bugs are not my favourite, however this is expected for any software package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Commands are very similar to AutoCAD making it easy to pick up if you haven't used it before. The price makes it so much more accessible than AutoCAD especially for occasional use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be great if it could also handle 3D CAD models like .step files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DraftSight Feature rich without breaking the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of any downsides to speak of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Draftsight is easy to learn, and has a wide variety of features that are ideal for my 2D CAD requirements. I use this on a daily basis as part of my work, and wouldn't want to change anything about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing I dislike about Draftsight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Draftsight is a great software to design 2 to 3D drawings. Exported design can be imported to the software. It is great to create drawings blocks including structural pages, notes and dimensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't have any negative comment to say about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very capable and straightforward to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Standard edition is no longer offered to new subscriptions. The cost of the Professional edition is way too high for our Not for Profit to afford the full number of licences that we have for DraftSight. Bring back the Standard edition or at least a heavily discounted charge for Not for Profits. We are reviewing a competitor's entry level (which has sufficient functionality for our purposes) product for which there is no charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to navigate, I use Draftsight all of the time, there are a number of features that make it really easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the only issue that i have is setting a reference point when doing a drawing to offset a item from another item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm a new user to draftsight and used it frequently to view and edit dwg files
The switch form other CAD software to Draftsight was so smooth because of its familiar interface ,common commands and tool bar ribons whuch makes it easy to implement 2D and 3D designs adding to this you can still use customizations created in Autocad however draftsight can easily integrate with catia and solidworks file because of using PDM data management system
Also You can always get the help of the Technical support team to get your project run smoothly.
Further more I find The Price to be incomparable as it provides several installation options and liscinces inclusing perpetual liscinces and yearly paid shared network liscinces (most software are paid monthly) which results in less liscinces required for the team cutting down the cost amazingly (not available in Autocad) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not the best choice for mechanical designs that needs 3D modeling and assemblies, although it has a handful of tools it can't compete with existing 3D cad software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
