DraftSight design tools and features are employed daily to create and adjust any drawing. Set drafting options Draw lines, circles, rectangles and polygons Copy and pattern entities Fillet and chamfer edges Load line styles Modify entity properties
Groups of entities can act as a single named block object. Blocks are ideal for repeat content, such as standard symbols or common drawing components. DraftSight also allows the use of Dynamic blocks. Define a block from entities Paste copied entities as a block Insert Blocks Edit Components Change block Base Point Define block attributes Create a multiline attribute Edit Attribute Data
