A free tool for 2D and 3D CAD design and drafting

DraftSight is a free, feature-rich design and drafting app. It is easy to use and has a clear and smooth interface. You can use DraftSight for your CAD projects and 2D drawings. The program offers several additional features, such as automatic formatting, multiple design templates, and a comparison preview. You can use the functionality of this software to carry out architectural, mechanical, and design projects.

Benefits of the DraftSight app

  • Coordinate system. Thanks to the Cartesian coordinate system, you can precisely determine the length and width of your drawing.

  • Support for many formats. The application supports many formats for import. You can add JPEG, J[G, PNG, BMP, TIF, TIFF, DGN, and GIF to your drawings. Once you've finished your project, you can export it to various image formats.

  • Various objects. You can add numerous objects to your drawings. For example, tables, blocks, lines, pointers, masks, hyperlinks, etc.

  • Documentation. You can add comprehensive documentation to the project if required. In this way, other people can learn more about the purpose of the project, its principles, and more.

  • Printing. Together with DraftSight, you can print your sketches as a set. All these files will be stored together, so you can easily see a list of your previous prints.

  • Expansion. The application supports using APIs, so you can increase the capabilities using third-party APIs. Once improved, the software will work according to your unique design and drawing needs.

Customizable and convenient interface

You can import previously created drawings or create an empty project to get started. You can use unique elements, symbols, annotations, or a design library in both cases. Also, for beginners, there are various educational webinars and documentation that will be useful in the process of mastering.

You can customize the panel and menu to your liking so that all frequently used tools are always at hand. This is quite convenient and significantly saves time searching for the desired function. You can use keyboard shortcuts for advanced functions, making a drawing, designing, and editing a breeze.
