SolidWorks DraftSight 2012

Access your legacy 2D DWG files with FREE 2D CAD software from SolidWorks and Dassault Systemes'

Without a doubt, SolidWorks and MLC CAD Systems believes that the future of CAD is 3D. With that said, we recognize that many companies have years of legacy DWG, DXF and 2D CAD data that they need to view, edit, work with and translate. Thus SolidWorks offers FREE software for your DWG files: DraftSight 2012.

New features and functionality available in DraftSight 2012 include...

• Print Configurations can now be saved and applied to DWG files and you can also apply these configuration files to different DWG files. This allows you to print the DWG files with the custom settings you applied without having to set them again every time you want to print. These files are portable and can be shared with other users as well
• DraftSight now supports 3D mouse control – supporting Zoom Direction (vertical and horizontal), /Pan/Velocity/Axis (clockwise and counter clock wise) and Dominant mode
• You can use the slider to set the sensitivity of the 3D mouse (between low and high, 0% – 100%)
• You can also set the Dominant mode, which filters out all motion except for data coming from the axis that is actuated the most
• DraftSight also supports Velocity/Speed where you can use the slider to adjust the smoothness of reacting to mouse cap movements
• You can set the Zoom/Pan to use the 3D mouse to zoom in and out
• DraftSight now supports rotate and axis commands as well

With DraftSight, you'll find an easy-to-use, familiar interface similar to competing 2D CAD programs at no charge, with no annual maintenance and subscription, and without the challenges of having to upgrade to the latest version of your 2D CAD software, just to be able to open and work with the latest DWG and 2D CAD file formats.

And one added bonus, DraftSight 2D CAD from SolidWorks and Dassault Systemes' is available for Windows, Mac and Linux systems.
