Transfer entities from Model workspace to Sheet workspace and vice versa.

Convert DGN or BAK files to DWG files and attach PDFs. Import SVG files and insert blocks. Generate 2D floor plans with .DSHBM files from HomeByMe.

API automates tasks that speed up workflows. Create add-ins and use DraftSight Professional in your workflows that involve systems like ERP, PDM and LISP routines.

Cut down manual tasks with Usability improvements and tools. Power Trim lines and entities or use Batch print to print an unopened folder.

Easily adjust spacing of dimensions by dragging the wheel.

Access a central location with user-defined reusable elements like blocks, which can be easily added to your drawing with a drag and drop.

Automatically place dimensions that are aligned with and spaced from other dimensions with predefined offset distances.

Place and locate dimensions with more precision with “snaps”.

Calculate values like Sum, Average, and Count with formulas directly in your design’s table cells like any spreadsheet application.

Quickly create a pattern of repeating entities along a predefined path.

Precisely place text along an arc by controlling the text direction and location.

Access your floorplan created in HomeByMe from inside the DraftSight task pane and generate a fully-dimensioned 2D DWG file. †Feature currently unavailable for Mac versions
