15 Years of Choice

Fifteen years ago, DraftSight was introduced to deliver powerful 2D CAD with a familiar drafting environment, flexible licensing model and a competitive price. Since then, it has become a trusted daily tool for architects, engineers, designers and manufacturers across a wide range of design and production workflows.

Over that time, DraftSight has continuously expanded its capabilities to meet the evolving demands of professionals. Users rely on it to create, edit and manage DWG, DXF, DGN and many other industry-standard drawings with precision. Key productivity tools, such as 2D parametric constraints, Custom Blocks, automated dimensioning, Power Trim, PowerTools, Sheet Set Management and many more, outperform standard CAD workflows, accelerating even the most complex projects. Focusing on engineering-led automation and improvement with each release, DraftSight has remained a reliable, full-featured solution as standards, tools and teams continue to evolve.
