Get a first look at the newest capabilities coming to DraftSight. Join the DraftSight product team on Thursday, October 29 for a live walkthrough of DraftSight 2027. Brian Vanasse and Kevin Land will demonstrate the new features in DraftSight and answer questions during the session.
What You'll See
Core CAD Upgrades
Several additions in DraftSight 2027 focus on everyday drawing and editing work.
Property Painter now allows you to copy formatting between different drawings with a single click, while Associative Pattern Paths keep repeated geometry linked to its source, so edits carry through automatically.
Working with referenced files also gets an update. XREF change notifications alert you when referenced files change. DRAWINGRECOVERY adds stronger file recovery support when a drawing or session is interrupted.
More Tools for Detailed Drawing Work
DraftSight 2027 adds Formulas to FIELDs, and the SMARTCALCULATOR is now able to be docked as working palette.
For drawing data that needs to move outside of CAD, DATAEXTRACTION now provides compatibility with .XLSX format.
BIM Module Enhancements
DraftSight 2027 expands its BIM capabilities with an updated BIM material library and a new RELOAD-FROM workflow for keeping linked models current.
The release also adds IFC stair and grid line support, along with improvements to curtain wall integration for architectural workflows.
3DEXPERIENCE Platform Improvements
For DraftSight Connected users, Batch Uploads provide a faster way to move multiple drawings into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. PLM drawing attributes are also available directly within DraftSight Connected, giving users access to engineering data while working in DraftSight.
AI & DraftSight
AI is changing how we work with CAD. Join us as we explore what happens when AI and emerging technologies meet DraftSight, opening the door to smarter workflows and new possibilities. This is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
