Step 2: Switch the workspace

The workspace in DraftSight provides a flexible environment that adapts to your design needs, offering predefined layouts such as 2D Drafting and 3D Modeling. Users can easily switch between these workspaces depending on their tasks or customize their own by arranging toolbars, ribbons, and palettes for maximum efficiency. Customized workspaces can be saved, transferred, and reused across systems, ensuring consistency and productivity for teams. This flexibility allows designers to maintain a clean, task-specific interface and focus more on drafting, detailing, or modeling without unnecessary distractions.

  1. Switch the workspace from existing to 3D Modeling workspace.

Step 3: Extrude the circle:

You can also use push and pull option to extrude your entity. The Push and Pull option in DraftSight allows users to quickly create or modify 3D geometry from 2D shapes. By selecting a face or a closed boundary, you can pull it outward to add material or push it inward to remove material, effectively extruding or cutting the solid. This intuitive tool makes 3D modeling faster and more visual, as you can dynamically adjust the height or depth of features directly in the graphics area. It’s especially useful for quickly turning 2D sketches into 3D models or refining existing designs without needing complex commands.

  1. Set the view to SW Isometric using the view option in the view tab or by the navigator wheel present in the graphical area.
  2. Then select the extrude option from the modelling ribbon in the home tab.
  3. Then select the circle and specify the height 20mm to be extruded.
  4. The extruded circle appears in the graphical area in wireframe visuals.
  5. Go to the visual style manager from the view tab and select the shaded with edges .
  6. You can notice the wireframe visual gets converted to solid visual with shaded edges in the graphical area.

Step 4: Subtract a hole in the 3D model:

  1. Change the UCS by typing UCS ,select the top view through the navigator and select the view option.
  2. Create a cylinder in the centre of the circle.
  3. Specify the centre point and, specify Radius as 20mm and height as 20mm towards downwards.
  4. You can notice the cylinder gets created in the centre of the 3D model.
  5. Select the subtract option from the solid editing ribbon in the home tab . Select the 3D circle first and select the cylinder next . You can notice the hole gets created in the 3D model.

Step 5: Fillet the edges:

  1. Select the fillet edges or type fillet and press enter.
  2. Select the edges need to be filleted in the 3D model and specify the radius and then press enter.
  3. You’ll notice the fillet gets generated in the specified 3D model edges.

Step 6: Create holes and pattern it:

The 3D Pattern feature in DraftSight helps you quickly duplicate 3D objects in a specified arrangement, such as linear, circular, or along a path. It allows you to define the number of instances, spacing, and direction, making it easy to create repetitive features like holes, ribs, or slots. This tool saves significant modeling time by automating the duplication process instead of manually copying and positioning each object. Using 3D Pattern enhances design accuracy and consistency, especially in complex assemblies or symmetrical parts.

  1. Create a cylinder on the top face of the 3D model and specify its height as 20mm downwards and you’ll notice the cylinder gets created.
  2. Select the 3D pattern option and specify the entity(cylinder) ,enter the no .of components needed to be patterned as 4 , specify the angle as 360 degrees ,select the rotation of the component as “no” and specify the centre of axis (two points).
  3. Then select the subtract option and select the 3D model first and select the four patterned cylinders.

Step 7: Modify / move / rotate the solid:

  1. MOVE: select object, pick base point, pick destination.
  2. ROTATE3D (or ROTATE with axis setting): rotate around an axis by degrees .You can also rotate by just pressing “shift” +”left click” +scroll wheel” to rotate your 3D model.
  3. MIRROR3D: create symmetrical features.

Step 8: Section or slice 3D model:

  1. Select the slice option from the ribbon and specify the entity.
  2. Select the two points of your slicing plane and select the point for placing the slicing plane.
  3. And press “Enter” and you’ll notice your 3D model gets sliced or sectioned.

Step 9: Exporting / saving your 3D model:

The DraftSight Connector allows users to seamlessly export and manage their drawings on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. With this integration, you can directly save your DraftSight files (.dwg or .dxf) to the cloud-based platform, ensuring secure storage and easy access from anywhere. It also enables version control, collaboration, and lifecycle management, allowing team members to review, share, and update drawings efficiently. By exporting to 3DEXPERIENCE, you bridge your DraftSight design workflow with Dassault Systèmes’ digital ecosystem, enhancing teamwork, data security, and project traceability.

  1. To save native: File → Save → .dwg (default).
  2. To export STL for 3D printing: File → Export → STL (choose mesh resolution if prompted).
  3. You can also export your 3D model as “SAT” file for using it in multiple CAD software.

Additional feature : Importing “Step” file :

  1. File → Import → select .stp or .step file (or type IMPORT and choose STEP).
  2. DraftSight will convert the STEP geometry to native solids/surfaces.

Conclusion:

The 3D Workspace in DraftSight converts 2D drafting workflows into a practical 3D modeling pipeline—letting you quickly create primitives, extrude 2D sketches, perform Boolean operations, and edit imported STEP models. By following the steps above you can set up your environment, model parts, clean imported geometry, inspect designs, and export for manufacturing or documentation. Start small (simple primitives and extrudes), practice the key edits (PRESSPULL, SLICE, FILLET), and you’ll gain confidence to handle assemblies and STEP imports effectively. Once comfortable, combine these workflows with DraftSight’s 2D drawing tools to produce complete, production-ready documentation from a single DWG-based environment.

Batch Printing In Draftsight 2025: Step by Step Guide

DraftSight 2025 is a powerful and user-friendly CAD software designed for professional 2D and 3D design, and one of its key features is the ability to print multiple drawings at once using the batch print function. Whether you need to print a series of engineering drawings, blueprints, or architectural plans, batch printing can save you time and increase productivity.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to efficiently use the batch printing feature in DraftSight 2025.

What is Batch Printing?

Batch printing allows you to print multiple files (or drawings) simultaneously without opening each individual file. This feature is particularly helpful when you have numerous documents to print in a consistent format and want to streamline your printing workflow.

Why Use Batch Printing in DraftSight 2025?

  • Save Time: Rather than opening each drawing individually and printing them one by one, batch printing allows you to print multiple drawings in one go.
  • Consistency: Batch printing ensures that all the drawings are printed with the same settings and scale.
  • Efficiency: If you have a series of revisions or updates to print, batch printing ensures no files are missed.

Steps to Batch Print in DraftSight 2025

Follow these steps to batch print your files in DraftSight 2025:

  1. Prepare Your Drawings

Before initiating the batch print, make sure all the files you want to print are ready and saved in a specific folder. You can print any number of files, so ensure they are properly named and organized.

2. Access the Batch Print Feature

To begin the batch printing process:

  • Open DraftSight 2025.
  • Navigate to the File menu and select Batch Print.
  • Alternatively, you can type BATCHPRINT into the command line to quickly access the batch print dialog.

3. Select the Files for Batch Printing

In the Batch Print dialog:

  • Click on Add Files to select the drawings you wish to print. You can choose multiple files from your computer or navigate to the folder where your drawings are stored.
  • You can also use Add Folder if you want to batch print all the files in a specific folder.

4. Choose Print Settings

Once your files are selected, customize the printing settings:

  • Printer Configuration: Select the printer you’ll be using for the batch print.
  • Page Size and Scale: Choose the correct page size and scale for all your drawings. Ensure they’re consistent across all files to avoid misprints.
  • Sheet Orientation: Decide whether the drawings should be printed in portrait or landscape orientation.
  • Plot Style: Select the appropriate plot style (e.g., color, grayscale, monochrome).

5. Choose Output Options

You can also configure output options, such as:

  • Save to PDF: If you prefer to create PDFs instead of printing to a physical printer, DraftSight allows you to select a PDF printer driver.
  • Output Folder: If you are saving the files in a different location or outputting PDFs, choose a folder where the files will be saved.
  • Printing Order: You can specify whether to print files in the order they were added or reverse the order.

6. Start the Batch Print Process

Once all settings are configured, click the Start Plot button. DraftSight will begin the batch printing process and send each drawing to the designated printer or plotter based on your selected settings.

7. Monitor and Complete the Process

The progress of the batch print will be displayed in a status bar. Depending on the number of files and the complexity of the drawings, it may take some time to complete. You can monitor the progress and make adjustments if necessary.

Conclusion:

Batch printing in DraftSight is a powerful feature that can save you valuable time and effort when working with multiple CAD drawings. By setting up your documents and configuring the right print settings, you can easily print a large number of files without having to manage each one separately.

3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS SHARE AND MARKUP

Share and Mark-up

SOLIDWORKS Share and Markup simplifies design sharing with external stakeholders. They can view, annotate, and share comments on your designs. SOLIDWORKS Share and Markup streamlines collaboration. It allows external stakeholders to interact with your designs by viewing, annotating, and sharing comments. This functionality is available to anyone who has the 3DSwymer, Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS or 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS roles.

A key benefit of Share and Markup is that the recipient doesn't need a 3DEXPERIENCE role or SOLIDWORKS license. This allows them to view the file, make notes, and share comments with you directly. All they require, is a 3DEXPERIENCE account, which can be created for no cost. This way, you can avoid the hassle of alternative file sharing tools that can add unnecessary overhead to your design collaboration process.

1. How to enable Share and Markup capabilities

To share files with external recipient some initial setup is required using the Drives Control Center app. The platform Administrator must turn on:

  • Allow platform members to share content with external users by link.
  • Allow external users to view and comment on shared content.

These settings are located on “Share with External” tab.

2. Sharing a file from SOLIDWORKS

In SOLIDWORKS you chose the file format to share. From the “Lifecycle and Collaboration” tab you can select the ‘arrow down’ on the “Share a file” button and then select the desired file format.

In this example 3DXML is chosen, this is the recommended format for sharing an assembly. The 3DXML file will contain all of child components and sub-assemblies.

After choosing the file format, you can create the sharable link. Click the “Share a file” command again and a formatted file is created and placed in your 3DDrive application, in the folder named “Shared with external”.

plus, a dialog box will appear with an option to enable guests to comment on the file, plus an option to restrict access to specific users. If you do NOT enable “restrict access to specific users” anyone with the shared link can access the file.

However, if you activate “Restrict access to specific users” you will have the option to type in the email address of the person you wish to share your file with or multiple email addresses if several persons are to be involved and finally, you can add a message in the dialog box.

However, if you activate “Restrict access to specific users” you will have the option to type in the email address of the person you wish to share your file with or multiple email addresses if several persons are to be involved and finally, you can add a message in the dialog box.

< style="text-align:justify"p>Having applied the required settings, next click the “Share” button, to automatically send an email to your chosen recipient that will include a link to the file and a message.

The recipient will receive an email with a subject line stating the name of the sender, the name of the file, and a link to access the shared file.

A free 3DEXPERIENCE ID account will be prompted to be set up by recipients when they click on the link, if they don’t have one already. If they do have an account, they can just select the link and access the model by signing in to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Note: They must use the same email address entered when creating the shared link.

3. Adding annotations and comments to the shared file

Once the recipient has logged in, they can access the model from their browser, which will take them to the shared model in the 3DPlay viewer application, where they can rotate, view, mark up, and comment on it using the intuitive tools in 3DPlay.

All the recipient needs to do is hover over the icons to get a description of the various tools to begin a “mark-up” procedure.

As an example, they can click on the Edit Clipping tool, which cuts through objects using a section plane to view and to access details inside an object, and also to measure hidden items.

4. Sharing annotations and comments with the original sender

A snapshot of the markups/comments can be saved by the recipients upon completion of commenting, by hitting the “Share as Comment” command. This snapshot will then be shown in the Comments window to the right of their screen.

When the feedback has been applied and sent, the original sender will receive a notification from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Clicking on the notification displays the 3DPlay app in the SOLIDWORKS task pane, where of the annotations and comments made by the recipient of the file can be viewed.

5. Understanding where shared files are stored in 3DDrive

The process which has just been described, seems very automatic and simple, and so it is. However, it’s always important to be aware of where the shared files are located, if you, at some point, wish to search for a specific file and other files that might have been shared.

SolidWorks lets you search directly within 3DDrive by opening the application through the Compass.

The 3DDrive application appears and shows all the 3DDrive folders you have access to. Sharing a file like shown in the previous steps automatically creates a folder named "Shared with external" within your "My Files" folder.

This is where all the files you have shared using the “Share a file” feature in SOLIDWORKS are be located.

All the files you have shared from SOLIDWORKS are accessible from this folder. From here you have several options, for example viewing the information of the files you have shared and previewing it so you are able to see exactly what the external recipient is seeing when they open the file in the browser. Deleting the file removes all comments and markups because 3DDrive, not 3DSpace, stores this information.

6. Adding new users to existing shared files

If you want to add more external recipients to collaborate with, you can do it from the folder as well. Just select the desired file, select the share button and then the “Share with external” tab and you get the same window as described previously.

Note: Although there is an expiration date “30 days from link creation” it is only the link to the file that expires, not the file itself. 3DDrive will continue to store the shared file until you remove it.

7. Revoking access to shared files

You have the option to revoke the shared access. When you have located the file you wish to revoke access from in the 3DDrive “Share with external” folder, open the “Share with external” tab in the “Share this file” menu.

Select the “Authorized list”

This feature will display a list of authorized users for the file. You can then select the recycle bin icon next to a user's name to revoke their access.

Share and Markup – use case examples

In this chapter you will find 3 use cases for sharing documents. Consultant designers, suppliers, and manufacturers commonly use these examples in their daily exchange of information.

1. Sharing a SOLIDWORKS drawing

Let’s say you need to share 2D drawing with a supplier. In this case you have made some changes to an original part and would like to get feedback from the supplier.

From the drawing in SOLIDWORKS, you can share the file as PDF, DXF, DWG and PNG.

Having chosen PDF as file format - select “Share a file” again. In this example we will not restrict the access to the file, so we will just make sure that the “Enable guest comments” is active and then click the “Copy external link” followed by “Close”.

The dialogue informs you that the file has been uploaded to 3DDrive upon closing. And if you forget to copy the link before closing the “Share a file” window, there is a Copy Link button in the info pop-up. This pop-up will disappear after a while. Hovering over it, will keep it visible.

You can actively rephrase the sentence as: "We can send the copied link to an external supplier by email."

The external recipient pastes the link into a browser. They can then log in to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform using their account credentials to view the file.

The recipient can now access the drawing and start giving feedback. They can also share comments as described previously.

2. Sharing a design for manufacture

We have approved your design and it is ready for manufacturing. Now you need to send the 3D file. You could send it as a STEP file or as a native SLDPRT file. This can in some cases make it much easier to start producing data for CNC machining or 3D Printing.

Sharing a modified file is easy. Simply select 'Share a file,' and a dialog box will appear allowing you to update the existing file.

Updating the file retains all previous annotations and comments, allowing the communication thread to continue seamlessly.

3. Sharing a large assembly design for review

When dealing with large assemblies, sharing a design efficiently can pose a real challenge as file sizes can get large. In the past, opening a large assembly, even in lightweight mode, often required the recipient to have a workstation running the native CAD application.

This task is now much easier in SOLIDWORKS by utilizing a combination of the 3DXML file format and the Share a File feature.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform allows you to view 3DXN{L files on both workstations and mobile devices. As long as you access the received link for the shared file — you will be able to open> view> zoom and rotate> explode even complicated assemblies.

Let’s have a look at an example using an all-terrain adventure bike designed by Bowhead Corp.

You have opened the assembly in SOLIDWORKS and prepared it for sharing by selecting 3DXML as the file format.

The sender selects the "Share a file" command and then proceeds to step through the sharing procedure described earlier.

he recipient clicks the link and logs in to 3DEXPERIENCE. They can then easily view the assembly and add comments. This device running a non-Windows operating system took these screenshots.

SOLIDWORKS

Share and Markup compared with traditional methods of file sharing.

Using the Share and Markup workflow can remove the need to use traditional methods of file sharing. Traditional methods of file sharing include PDFs, screenshots of models in documents, and even SolidWorks Pack and Go. These methods often require multiple applications and can cause compatibility issues. Share and markup takes away previously used unstructured workflows and eliminates the typical obstacles in historical file sharing which include:

  • The need for various applications for saving and viewing files.
  • File sizes exceeding mailbox capacity.
  • File formats not compatible with recipient operating system or applications for viewing.

Share and Markup summary

SOLIDWORKS Share and Markup offers a powerful solution for sharing designs with external stakeholders. This functionality leverages the Share a File command and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It eliminates the need for less efficient file sharing methods. With SOLIDWORKS Share and Markup, you eliminate the hassle of manual file zipping, email limitations, and recipient software downloads. Now, anyone can view and comment on your designs using a simple web link. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform lets you work through your browser. This allows recipients to view and add comments to shared files on a mobile device.

SOLIDWORKS Share and Markup streamlines design collaboration. Designers and stakeholders can work together efficiently, getting products to market faster.
