The true measure of a software’s impact lies in the stories of those who use it daily, so let’s explore DraftSight’s G2 reviews. In this blog, we’re stepping back to let the voices of our users take the spotlight, sharing their firsthand experiences, as reflected in DraftSight user reviews on G2.
Revolutionizing CAD Productivity
A mid-market user underlines the software’s user-friendly nature, sharing that DraftSight is the “best CAD tool for 2D design, [with a] User-friendly user interface. One of the best things is most of the shortcuts are the same as AutoCAD.” This user goes on to share that DraftSight’s familiarity coupled with advanced capabilities and customizable shortcuts like Mouse Gestures helps them work more effectively.
An R&D Development Associate Engineer shared their appreciation for DraftSight’s robust toolset, “It offers a comprehensive set of drafting and editing tools, enabling precise and accurate designs.” This depth of functionality allows users to tackle a wide range of design tasks more efficiently.
DraftSight’s productivity tools save time and streamline the design process. Let’s explore a few customer favorites:
- The unique capability of DraftSight’s Sheet Set Manager to import multiple PDF files simultaneously can save you days by itself! The Sheet Set Manager organizes drawing sheets across multiple DWG files efficiently, preventing the need to open individual sheets or files for property and print settings application. The ability to apply properties and print settings globally without opening individual sheets or files saves not just time but also reduces the room for error.
- DraftSight’s Custom Blocks can be configured to contain all your necessary design variations. Custom Blocks help you save time, effort, and storage space with the ability to cover multiple design variations in one single block. DraftSight Custom Blocks can open legacy AutoCAD® Dynamic Blocks®.
- And, let’s not forget about the productivity tools found only in DraftSight, such as PowerTrim, which allows quick and accurate trimming of multiple entities, and Toolbox Layers for maintaining CAD standards to help save precious design time.
DraftSight’s G2 Reviews Show a Smooth Transition
Transitioning to a new CAD tool can be daunting, but DraftSight has made this process much smoother for its users. An Aviation & Aerospace Professional shared that “the switch from another CAD software to DraftSight was so smooth because of its familiar interface, common commands, and toolbar ribbons.” The ease of adopting DraftSight in existing workflows is key to its growing popularity.
The familiar user interface is a significant advantage. Those commands you’ve spent years memorizing will work just fine in DraftSight. A technical sales engineer highlights the ease of integrating DraftSight into their workflow, calling DraftSight the “best alternative to AutoCAD.”
DraftSight’s price point is also a major draw. “It offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive CAD software,” an R&D Development Associate Engineer notes, pointing out the accessibility and affordability of DraftSight.
If you’ve recently left your legacy CAD behind (or are evaluating transitioning to DraftSight), you’ve found a great place to land.
