What's New in DraftSight


DraftSight is a robust DWG design solution featuring a refined UI, tool palettes, layer palette, and the ability to merge layers for file size reduction. It introduces data link for Excel integration and efficient reference attachment.

The latest version also brings enhanced hatch editing, improved layer control, a Mac OS Ribbon UI, and the unique ability to import CATIA drawings as DWG files. 

Tool Palettes
Streamline the process of creating drawings and maintain uniformity. Access all your frequently utilized commands and functions conveniently in a single location. Guarantee that newly generated elements adhere to predefined standards throughout your drawings.

 Layer Palette
Exercise greater layer control with the Layer Palette for all your layer commands within a single, accessible interface. Efficiently manage your layers, make adjustments to layers, and organize your project, all while keeping your drawing in view.

 CATIA Drawing Import
The DraftSight 2024 release includes support for CATIA drawings allowing you to collaborate with your supply chain with clarity and precision. You now have the ability to import CATIA drawings directly into DraftSight and open them as DWG files with no manual conversion required.

Enhanced User Interface
Navigate standard views and isometric views with ease by using the newly introduced View navigator in DraftSight 2024. Experience reduced eyestrain and enhanced feature visibility with the default Dark mode interface. In addition, a new workspace, CAD General, has been introduced. This workspace organizes all the tools in a conventional manner, similar to other CAD software’s, ensuring a smooth transition for DraftSight users.

 Data Link
Introducing the new Data Link feature in DraftSight 2024. Now you can easily embed Excel files, maintaining real-time accuracy through two-way communication. Enhance your data management and foster cross-file collaboration with this advanced capability.

 Merge Layer
DraftSight 2024 brings the Merge Layers feature, a robust tool designed to consolidate multiple layers into a single layer. This new addition simplifies complex drawings and allows for the organization of related entities, leading to optimized drawings that enhance efficiency and ensure precision in both 2D and 3D projects.

Attach Multiple Xrefs
Now you can conveniently attach multiple reference files at once. To utilize this feature, click "Attach Drawing" and choose the desired files, including image PDFs and DGN files. Reduce time spent managing file paths and get back to drafting quicker with this great new addition to DraftSight.

 Export Sheet
Now with DraftSight you can rapidly create new drawings from existing files without loss of detail. Export all the visible entities of the active sheet viewports in model space to a new drawing. This feature enables you to improve the legibility and focus of specific sections, areas, or views within your drawing by exporting scaled representations of model space, title blocks, and other annotative elements, including dimensions and notes.

 Ribbon Based Interface for MacOS
Experience enhanced Ribbon UI for DraftSight on macOS. In the previous Mac version, the interface was menu-based with limited customization options. Now, macOS users can enjoy a unified, optimized user interface, providing the same experience as our Windows users.

Make Flat Snapshot Improvements
In DraftSight 2024, a significant improvement has been made to the Make Flat Snapshot command. Now, you can easily link foreground and hidden lines to specific layers from the Flat Snapshot dialog, enhancing organization and enabling swift visibility adjustments based on layer associations.		 Reshaping Hatches
Explore the latest enhancements in DraftSight's hatch functionality, providing users with greater flexibility when reshaping hatches, all without the hassle of recreating them. This is achieved by breaking the associative link between the hatch and its original boundary, unlocking a range of grips surrounding the entire hatch. These grips empower users to execute a multitude of actions, including stretching, vertex insertion, and converting to arcs.

 


DraftSight Premium


DraftSight has the productivity tools, functionality, and file compatibility you need to create, edit, view and markup any 2D or 3D DWG-file with speed and efficiency. Further enhance design and documentation collaboration on the cloud by connecting to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Millions of designers’ trust DraftSight’s advanced desktop 2D and 3D CAD with powerful time-saving functionalities and an API to accelerate your design projects.

DraftSight Premium includes all the features in DraftSight Professional, plus full 3D capabilities and parametric constraints.
Meet your drafting, modeling, prototyping, manufacturing, laser cutting, and 3D printing needs.
Effortlessly manage DWG, DXF and DGN files, import PDFs and shift between 2D drafting and 3D modeling environments.


Highlights

  • 3D Modeling - Go from 2D drafting to 3D modeling and back again in order to optimize and maximize designs. Export as STL or SAT to print or use in 3D applications.
  • 3D Meshing - Create complex 3D surfaces or geometries by defining a mesh with custom contours and numerous editable points for better control and design.
  • 2D Constraints - Control drawing objects parametrically by specifying geometric and dimensional constraints. Easily define the relationships between entities and control their dimensions like length and angle.


Top Features

Parametric Constraints
Ensure geometric relationships and respect your design intent by utilizing the power of 2D parametric constraints such as Geometric and Dimensional Constraints.		 3D Modeling
Access the 3D Modeling Workspace, a full suite of powerful 3D modeling and editing tools, where you can access the all-in-one 2D drafting and 3D design experience. 
 Import PDF Drawings
Import PDF drawings and convert them to editable DWG files.


Associative Patterns
Drag and drop graphical grips to adjust pattern location.		 Image Tracer
Automatically convert raster images - BMP, PNG, PDF, and JPG formats into vector graphics, creating accurate and editable lines and curves in DWG files. Save time and effort manually retrieving and editing image elements.		 Page Layout Manager
Save time setting up your print or plot settings. Instead of creating and managing an external print configuration file, you can save all your print or plot parameters in a named setup that is saved inside your drawing or template file.		 Create Custom Blocks
Create Custom Blocks to accommodate multiple variations in a single block.
