Perfect for opening up AutoCAD files in Linux since I don't have any Windows machines at home. If I did I can't pay thousands of dollars for AutoCAD. I don't do CAD drawings personally, but on occasions when I come across one this is perfect. Looks like I can even do some editing and changes on it if I knew what I was doing.
No longer compatible with Linux.
Draftsight is now compatible with Mac 10.14 (Mojave) onwards.
Still haven't added back compatibility with Linux.
Cheapest version is £159 per year.
If your DraftSight "ceases to run" after 12/31/19, ZWCAD is an affordable/ownable alternative.

With DraftSight 2019 the free license has been dropped and the product is now a $99/yr subscription.
I use AutoCAD LT for 2D drafting at work and was looking for a free alternative.
I found DraftSight easy to get started on as many of the commands are identical - after an hour of practice I'm starting to produce useful work.
The other alternatives I tried were really hard to get started and didn't seem to have the commands I was expecting.

This isn't free any more and the Linux version was stopped.
A easy and powerful 2D CAD software!!
I couldn't indicate a better AutoCAD replacement.
