the choice is yours - DraftSight is much less "bossy" and much easier to choose from. Do you want to work with pull-down bars and toolbars in AutoCAD? It's okay. even to the point of hiding Classic workspaces in recent releases. This brings me to another point - Autodesk has essentially pushed its users to embrace the ribbon. But you don't have to worry about your pretty little head - just press the PURGE key (or PU) or the tool the toolbar or ribbon and you're ready to go! In AutoCAD we will do the PURGE command - in DraftSight - it is the CLEAN (or CL) command. For example, you want to your drawing file. If you're like me, you don't want to have to re-learn all of your favorite command names. The best part? Even if the commands are slightly different - you can enter the AutoCAD command name and it will know exactly which command to execute in DraftSight. User Interface has a cozy, comfortable AutoCAD-like interface, and the naming convention for most commands is virtually the same. DraftSight not only generates 100% compatible DWG files (complete with blocks, size styles, layers, etc.) for a fraction of the cost, but you'll feel right at home right away with DraftSight. Since joining Dassault Systèmes and contacted DraftSight, I am happy to say the answer is "Yes!" Very big. But were they good enough? Are they compatible with DWG files? Are these "CAD replicas" like low-cost Louis Vuitton knockoffs or are they robust, quality CAD solutions? And most importantly (for someone who loves her AutoCAD) will I be able to feel comfortable in a new CAD environment? I no longer get confused by everything Autodesk is and I realize that there are many other CAD options out there, especially for those who don't want to pay the hefty price tag for AutoCAD.
I have written three AutoCAD books, 20 years worth of AutoCAD articles for Cadalyst Magazine and produced hundreds of AutoCAD tips videos.īut the world around me changed and I was finally leaving my comfortable AutoCAD / Autodesk days. Spend more than 20 years with Autodesk promoting “AutoCAD Best Release” every year and I definitely feel at home in product, like many of you. Not many people in the world know the product better than me because I built my knowledge on the product Release 1.4, adding new features every release along the way. I have spent my career using, teaching and promoting AutoCAD.
