DraftSight – 2D CAD Drafting and 3D Design Software

DraftSight® provides an intuitive 2D drafting and 3D design experience for architects, engineers, construction service providers, professional CAD users, designers, makers, manufacturers, educators, and hobbyists. DraftSight enables you to create, edit, view, and mark up any kind of DWG file. It offers a familiar user interface that facilitates a quick transition from comparable CAD applications.

Welcome to design freedom.

DraftSight 2019 is a feature-rich 2D and 3D CAD solution for architects, engineers and construction service providers, as well as professional CAD users, designers, educators and hobbyists.

The DraftSight we know and love. Only better.

DraftSight 2019 is major software upgrade that’s proven and powerful, and includes your most asked-for capabilities and functionality. DraftSight lets you create, edit, view and markup any kind of 2D and 3D DWG file with greater ease, speed and efficiency. Its familiar user interface facilitates a quick transition from your current CAD application.

More options, choices and tools to suit your design needs and preferences.

Real design freedom is letting you work the way you want to work. It’s the ability to effortlessly go from 2D drafting to 3D modeling and back again in order to optimize and maximize designs. And the capability to seamlessly integrate with other Dassault Systèmes and SOLIDWORKS® solutions, including SOLIDWORKS PDM to easily manage your DWG file designs from first inspiration to final outcome.

DraftSight 2019 gives you the freedom to do what you do best — no matter who you are or what you’re trying to accomplish.
