DraftSight overview

What is DraftSight?

DraftSight is a 2D CAD drafting and 3D design software for architects, designers, engineers, and builders. The platform allows users to create construction documents, scale drawings, and generate technical illustrations faster.

DraftSight allows organizations to handle the entire modeling process, from first sketches to final 3D models using parametric objects, built-in design tools, constraints management, revision control, and other features.

DraftSight allows users automatically generate curved walls or arches, edit line thickness or type like dotted or dashed and modify colors based on the project requirements. Its prototyping allows designers to create functional prototypes that can be tested in a model before taking them into production.
