What do you like best about DraftSight?

My favorite button to use is the stretch feature! It saves me a lot of time at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

It can be finicky to alter text due to the double click. Also, sometimes the cursor does not want to land on the point you want it to, which can be annoying if it is at an inserseting point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DraftSight?

I like Draftsight for two reasons. Since I learned how to use Autocad, I didn't need to relearn anything when I changed over to Draftsight. Also, it is less expensive than Autocad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

I don't like that Draftsight doesn't have a clear path to upgrade to the higher end version. It's simply, buy another seat at the higher level and let the previous seat expire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DraftSight?

User-friendly user interface. One of the best things is most of the shortcuts are the same as Autocad. Mouse gestures and other shortcuts can be customized as like Solidworks which is very helpful for working faster. We can able to import PDFs and make 1:1 drawings. This is one of the less expensive 2D CAD tools available in the market. They provide very good customer support and responds quickly to out queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DraftSight?

sometimes, If we work on larger files it lags and generates crash reports. Very less tools are available for 3D design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
