Overall Satisfaction with DraftSight

We use DraftSight for 2D shop drawings in a commercial millwork company, as well as to create .dxf files for CNC machining by other software.
  • It's cheap. Used to be free, now it's just cheap.
  • It's based on Graebert Ares Commander, which I also use, and which is significantly more stable.
DraftSight, since version 2020 SP0, is a buggy, crash prone mess. Every time I update the program, I wind up rolling back to 2020 SP0 within a day or two due to incessant program crashes.

I will be switching to Ares Commander as soon as our current service agreement is over.
