DraftSight
DraftSight is a 2D CAD software developed by Dassault Systèmes, the creators of SOLIDWORKS and CATIA. It is designed for architects, engineers, drafters, and designers who need to create, edit, view and share technical drawings and designs. The app handles DWG files and provides comprehensive tools for precise 2D and 3D design work. DraftSight is available in multiple editions — Standard, Professional, and Premium — as well as enterprise licensing options, with a free 30-day trial available.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThe search results do not confirm whether DraftSight has been updated with native Apple Silicon support. Dassault Systèmes has not published clear information about a native arm64 or Universal Binary build in available sources. If you are currently running DraftSight under Rosetta on an M-series Mac, we recommend visiting the official DraftSight downloads page to check whether a newer native version is available, or contact Dassault Systèmes support directly to ask about Apple Silicon compatibility plans. If native support is not yet available and you need a native Apple Silicon CAD alternative, consider LibreCAD (free, open-source 2D CAD) or Fusion 360 (Autodesk's subscription-based CAD software with native Apple Silicon support), though neither is a direct DraftSight replacement and both have different workflows and feature sets.
