View, print, or edit legacy drawings. Create designs with various elements. Add annotations and alter your design with new tools. Print to a plotter, printer or file.

Insert hardware from a defined library. Standards include ANSI, Imperial, BSI, DIN, ISO, and JIS. Generate holes, a bill of materials, welding and surface finish symbols and more.

Send sets of drawings and sheets to printers in batch jobs, and save batch print jobs as Batch Print List (*.bpl) files for subsequent use.

Graphically compare entities between two drawing documents and identify differences based on displayed color codes.

Convert drawing entities to a G-Code (.txt) file to send to a CNC machine for manufacturing or fabrication.

Import and convert a DGN file format drawing into a DraftSight project for direct editing.

Convert raster to DWG. Trace images in .bmp, .png, or .jpg format as vectors. Save, share, or send files directly to a laser or vinyl cutter.

Use formulas in cells with arithmetic operators and the Sum, Average, and Count.

Trim Hatches and Gradients with the Trim and PowerTrim commands.

Use functions to create 3D shapes. Transform 2D shapes into 3D solids and download as .stl or .sat to print or use in 3D applications.

Add an external reference to your current drawing.

Edit polylines with more options like taper, create arc, and add vertex at midpoint.

Automatically collapse palettes with mouse gestures to maximize screen area.

Easily view entities with colored highlighting instead of legacy dashed-style highlighting.

Set a layer for hatches and gradient fills in the corresponding dialog box.

Remove duplicate entities or overlapping parts of entities from your drawing.

Support for high-resolution (4K) displays.

Set a "hairline" linewidth in the print dialog box used especially for laser cutter output.

Quickly preview the content of layers one by one or by a set of specified layers.

Set a new base point for a block using the right mouse button.

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

Convert PDF, DGN or BAK files to DWG files. 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.

Use Boolean operations to modify 3D solids. Reshape the edges using Fillet or Chamfer and use Shell to create a wall with a specific thickness.

Rotate drawing entities in 3D space around a specified axis.

Align entities with respect to other entities or other target points in 3D space.

Create a mirror image in a 3D plane around a 3D axis.

Create a pattern of entities in 3D space, either in a linear matrix or a circular alignment about a rotation axis.

Bevel the edges of 3D solid objects.

Round the edges of 3D solid objects.

Create a hollow, thin wall with a specified thickness on a 3D solid object.

Check interferences within a solid model.

Slice 3D solids with a plane or surface.

Thickens surfaces to produce 3D solids.

Create three - or four-sided surfaces in space.

Generate 3D PolygonMeshes.

Create a 3D PolygonMesh between four boundaries.

Revolve a path curve (profile) around an axis to create a surface.

Create a ruled surface between two boundary curves (profiles), resulting in a PolygonMesh surface.

Create a tabular surface using a path curve and a direction vector, resulting in a PolygonMesh surface.

Generate a cross section based on the intersection of a plane and 3D solids.

Project a flat representation of 3D solid objects and regions to your drawing's X-Y plane of the active Custom Coordinate System (CCS).

Define Geometric Constraints for one or more entities.

Define Dimensional Constraints for entities or between constraint points on entities.
