Productivity
DraftSight features the professional tools, functionality, and file compatibility to get your jobs done quickly. Users will find DraftSight faster and lighter than other popular CAD products as it doesn't carry the baggage of a nearly 40-year old product - with the benefits of great tools that don't exist in AutoCAD like PowerTrim and TBLayers.
Value
DraftSight offers choice to provide the best value as not all CAD users have the same needs. DraftSight represents the best value on the market by being a fraction of the price of comparable CAD offerings, and perpetual licensing is available as well as network and subscription options.
Easy Transition
It's easy to make the switch away from AutoCAD - DraftSight will do the work for you. Users will feel comfortable right away with the familiar user interface, minimal learning curve, and support for common commmands, legacy drawings, and complex objects like Dynamic Blocks. Type commands just as you would in AutoCAD, and customise your experience with LISP, AutoLISP, and Visual LISP support.

Note: Discrete GPU refers to anything that is not built into the motherboard. Usually, this is a different brand to the CPU or processor. Ensure your GPU can handle raytracing. Generally, NVIDIA GPUs that mention RTX and Radeon GPUs that mention RX will be able to handle ray tracing. If you are unsure if your GPU is correct or are looking to purchase a new GPU, feel free to contact our support team for advice.
