2D CAD Drafting and 3D Design Software

What is DraftSight?

Draftsight is versatile software offering 2D computer-aided drafting for all engineering services including, mechanical, manufacturing, electrical and architectural, among others. It can be used for both 2D and 3D drawings and is capable of handling projects of any complexity in an elegant and easy fashion.

Integration with SOLIDWORKS Applications

  • Draftsight integrates with SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, thereby helping assure data security and version control.
  • One can easily work on SOLIDWORKS by just copying and pasting from Draftsight. Thus there is no complex migration, data, or format changes involved and no loss of information.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Integration

Users with SOLIDWORKS Electrical integration can simply add, edit, and modify symbols with easy actions and stored in the SOLIDWORKS library as well. Further, Draftsight offers excellent documentation capabilities for marking up and viewing electrical projects. Thus platform compatibility offers increased scope and ease of use.
