    Chose DraftSight
    I think TurboCAD and DraftSight would both work well for me. I started using DraftSight when it was free and found that it was a useful tool so I transitioned to a paid license.

    Chose DraftSight
    Draftsight is so close to the benchmark of AutoCAD it's uncanny. At a glance, it is AutoCAD. Comparing it to TurboCAD, Draftsight for me is far more user friendly, I’m a keyboard shortcutter--Draftsight and AutoCAD keyboard commands are the same. I would rather draw my plans …

    Chose DraftSight
    Over the years, I've worked with a few other CAD programs like AutoCAD, TurboCAD, and LibreCAD. I find DraftSight works equally as well and in some cases better than these other programs.

    Chose DraftSight
    I have used the following CAD programs: VisualCADD, AutoCAD, TurboCAD, SolidEdge 2D, and DesignCAD. I have tried a few others that I didn't like. For me, drawing from scratch, the most efficient program is VisualCADD. No other CAD program I've tried so far have matched it. …

    Chose DraftSight
    I have only used TurboCAD and AutoCAD as alternatives. I thought Draftsight was a lighter version of AutoCAD, sometimes you don't need the bulky interface will every option like AutoCAD offers. I found TurboCAD to be clumsy and poorly laid out. It was very hard to find the …

    DraftSight sometimes opens dwgs that my CAD software will struggle with.

    Chose DraftSight
    DraftSight has suited me well. It operates in a very similar way to AutoCAD, but at a much more competitive price point, certainly for a sole user.

    Chose DraftSight
    I've been a user of AutoCAD for many years. DraftSight is my go-to application now.

    Chose DraftSight
    I've used AutoCAD and TurboCAD and once the different steps used to create the drawings are learned, DraftSight was more efficient than the competition.

    Chose DraftSight
    Draftsight is Free, no involvement with management to get or install. Easy to install at home or on student computers. It doesn't take a serious hardware platform to work. It runs on Macs.

    Chose DraftSight
    DraftSight stands up against those apps since it’s a collaborative platform and their way of sending outstanding improvements in every single release, also reducing flaws and patching bugs. They're always put their competitors out of the fence with their support and …

    Chose TurboCAD
    TurboCAD is a well-priced solution for a small business, it comes standard with 3D modeling compared to DraftSight which does not. The user interface could be updated along with industry-standard shortcut keys but for the number of drawings we do, this package fills the gap. …
