DraftSight Mechanical features everything DraftSight has to offer, along with industry-specific tools and functionality such as Part References, Bill of Materials, Part Lists, Balloons, and Frames. Update drawings containing mechanical entities in DWG format, read and modify part references previously created with AutoCAD Mechanical, create new part references, and even create and modify part lists and bill of materials (BOM).

• Save time with the ability to view, create, and manage legacy 2D assembly drawings directly from within DraftSight Mechanical.
• Ensure bill of materials (BOM) accuracy with support for part references and related item callouts created with legacy 2D mechanical CAD applications or DraftSight Mechanical.
• Reduce operating costs by documenting accurate parts lists and assembly instructions, removing the need to locate absent components or correct the assembly process.
• Add intelligence to your 2D entities with part references for accurate BOM management. Modify existing part references and automatically create new ones leveraging the hardware library or user-defined custom blocks.
• Improve the overall accuracy of your assembly drawings with the ability to annotate and label drawings by creating or reorganizing balloons associated with a parts list.
• Maintain compliance with the ability to create 2D drawings that meet international drafting standards such as ANSI, ISO, DIN, JIS, and BSI. Save time by ensuring your layers remain organized and aligned with your standards using the Mechanical Layers Manager and layer groups.

• Flexible Licensing
• Familiar Interface
• Common File Type Support
• Full Support
• Proven ROI

Productivity
DraftSight features the professional tools, functionality, and file compatibility to get your jobs done quickly. Users will find DraftSight faster and lighter than other popular CAD products as it doesn't carry the baggage of a nearly 40-year old product - with the benefits of great tools that don't exist in AutoCAD like PowerTrim and TBLayers.

Value
DraftSight offers choice to provide the best value as not all CAD users have the same needs. DraftSight represents the best value on the market by being a fraction of the price of comparable CAD offerings, and perpetual licensing is available as well as network and subscription options.

Easy Transition
It's easy to make the switch away from AutoCAD - DraftSight will do the work for you. Users will feel comfortable right away with the familiar user interface, minimal learning curve, and support for common commmands, legacy drawings, and complex objects like Dynamic Blocks. Type commands just as you would in AutoCAD, and customise your experience with LISP, AutoLISP, and Visual LISP support.
