The fact that such a comprehensive 2D tool is now being offered for FREE is without a doubt a groundbreaking action within the CAD Industry.

I did ask about the future of SolidWorks 2DEditor and was told that announcements regarding that product will be made later down the road.

Later this year a MAC & LINUX versions of this product will be available which follows in line with product announcements already made by Grabert. It is based on ARES which is a newly launched platform from German based Grabert CAD solutions. The technology behind this product is NOT IntelliCAD. IвЂ™ll cover more about SWYM in a future post as it is just now being launched along with this product. It was stressed that this product WILL be enhanced and will always offer a FREE version. (SWYM stands for See What You Mean) The hope is that the user Community will provide lots of feedback on the product which will drive future enhancements. The DraftSight Community is an area setup within the new Dassault Systemes SWYM online Community. One of the interesting aspects of this product is the Community approach. It is a standard FlexLM setup that will allow multiple users to access the available licenses on the server. Commercial LicensingДЄll Dassault Systemes reseller channels will be selling a Commercial version that includes the API access and Technical Support for $250 per year per license.

This is pretty common these days with many software companiesвЂ¦after allвЂ¦Gmail was labeled вЂњBetaвЂќ for quite some time. A 19 megabyte test file (cannot show the content on the screenвЂ¦sorry!) loaded in about half the time it took to open the file in SolidWorks 2DEditor. Of course I had to test this for myself and I must say the results were very positive. Performance is key and according to Aaron Kelley, Senior Director of DraftSight, users should see a significant performance increase when compared to SolidWorks 2DEditor. After that you will have to provide it in order to continue using the product.ДraftSight also has a mouse gesture wheel feature that functions very much like its counterpart in SolidWorks 2010. (THATвЂ™S IT!) You have 30 days to provide this e-mail address. All you have to provide is an e-mail address. If you Save or Print a file in DraftSight, youвЂ™ll be prompted to Activate the software. All of the placement options will look very familiar to most 2D users. The example I created included a gradient shaded hatch. This makes the options standout and will allow the user to identify the options available much faster.Д«asic Block Commands are also available. One of the unique features of this tool is the Enhanced Command Window which features colors for options as you enter geometry creation commands. Below is a screenshot that shows all the details. The layers interface is very clean and appears to have all the major tools and features necessary. One of the features I immediately noticed is that DraftSight contains a Polar snap setting, which was always missing in DWGeditor. Below is a screenshot of the default screen you see when you start the program.ДЄlthough I donвЂ™t use 2D tools very much at all any more, I was still able to find my way around the product since it is VERY much like AutoCAD. It also contains some enhancements which do make this product unique. The look and feel is very вЂњmodernвЂќ which is refreshing when compared to the IntelliCAD based SolidWorks 2DEditor (DWGeditor). Installation literally takes less than a minute. The product is little over 40 megabytes when downloaded. Will offer both MAC & LINUX versions later this year.

#Draftsight tutorial download

FREE download version to anyone who wants it.

Below are the highlights of what is being offered. I jumped at the chance and even got to test drive a pre-beta version of the software to see for myself what it was all about. Last week I was contacted by a PR agency and was asked if I would like to see the product first hand and review some of the details of the program. Dassault Systemes today announced the introduction of DraftSight, a 2D CAD tool that is available for download for FREE at.
