Let we see…

Draftsight is a 2D and 3D Cad software for engineers, architects, cad designers, Professional cad users.

Let us see a short introduction of Draftsight, its capabilities & Its benefits in this blog. 

DraftSight empowers users to perform 2D design and annotation, along with 3D modeling.

Draftsight will let you do all the operations you are doing in present 2D software without missing the legacy. From the file extension to user interface you can feel the same feel which you felt in present 2D software.

Yes, Draftsight is works with DWG/DXF format. So reuse of legacy data is ease. User interface also same, as a familiar user one will take short time to adopt with Draftsight. In other words, you will take minimal learning curve to adopt here

Some of commands you can work with Draftsight are below:

  • Layer Management
  • Blocks
  • Mechanical Tool Box
  • Ballooning and BOM

1.Layer Management

You can Use the Layer command to create new Layers, set the active Layer, and specify Layer properties and behaviour.

You can create a new Layer any time. To improve efficiency, plan your layers in advance

2.Blocks

The original sentence is already in active voice. “A Block” is the subject, “is” is the verb, and “a collection of entities bound together as a single entity” is the object. After you create a Block, you can insert it whenever you need it in a drawing.
