DraftSight 2D CAD Drafting and 3D Design Software

DraftSight 2020 is a feature-rich 2D and 3D CAD solution for architects, engineers and construction service providers, as well as professional CAD users, designers, educators and hobbyists.

Create, edit, view and markup any kind of 2D and 3D DWG file with DraftSight.
The professional grade 2D drafting and 3D design solution.

DraftSight 2020 gives you the freedom to do what you do best, no matter what you’re trying to accomplish.

Effortlessly go from 2D drafting to 3D modelling and back again in order to optimise and maximise designs.

Seamlessly integrate with other Dassault Systèmes and SOLIDWORKS solutions, including SOLIDWORKS PDM to easily manage your DWG file designs from first inspiration to final outcome.
