DraftSight is professional 2D CAD software from Dassault Systèmes, the maker of SOLIDWORKS and CATIA. It is used by architects, engineers, construction professionals, and designers to create technical drawings, floor plans, electrical schematics, and other engineering documents. The app reads and writes DWG files natively, making it compatible with AutoCAD workflows, and offers full 2D drafting tools including layers, blocks, dimensioning, and design automation through scripting. It is available as a free Creator edition for individual users, a Professional edition with additional features, and an Enterprise edition for teams. A native Apple Silicon build has now been confirmed running on M-series Macs in our user community.
