DraftSight · Complete learning path
Draw, dimension and print your 2D drawings in DWG format, then move on to constraints and 3D.
Free video training · 2D
Five lessons, from getting to know the software to the 3D tools in DraftSight Premium. The first three cover everyday 2D drafting, the last two cover parametric constraints and 3D modeling.

What you will be able to do
✓Choose the right DraftSight offering and manage your drawings, templates and PDF exports
✓Draw and modify a 2D drawing with the creation and modification tools
✓Dimension, reuse blocks and print with a print configuration
✓Constrain a 2D profile and create or modify simple 3D solids
Where to start
You are new to DraftSight: follow lessons 1 to 3 in order, they cover all everyday 2D drafting. You already draw in DWG: start at lesson 4 for constraints and 3D, which are reserved for DraftSight Premium and equivalent offerings.
