Hopefully someone already has a copy of the veterans version and can fill us in on its capabilities.Īs you mentioned, the Draftsight program is quite a wallet saver after Autodesk gave up on the earlier versions of AutoCad for the newer computers. IIRC, it wouldn't generate a digital output file that could be adapted for use with a 3d printer.Īfter reading about the veterans version I got all excited, but if 3D models cannot be printed, well, that takes all the fun out of the program.
#Draftsight student version license#
I looked into it a year or two ago and found that some functionality was disabled. You can purchase an Educational License of LANDWorksCAD, if you are studying landscape design in a recognised institution. Look for the fine print on the offer for the Solidworks vets' version. AC Lite went nonfunctional when I got win 7 and they wanted some outrageous price for the current version.
SketchUp is gaining popularity with CAD users because it has a web-based version available completely for free. DraftSight is a powerful 2D CAD and 3D design solution. It's free, and about equally functional to a copy of AutoCAD Lite that I bought for $200 about 15 years ago. Firstly, the student version is free for students and educational institutions for non-commercial use only, while the professional version requires a license. When reviewers have ran into issues, they report that customer service with DraftSight leaves much to be desired and that online support is not useful for troubleshooting. I occasionally get an email, but it's infrequent. One of our managers uses Draftsight to open drawing and yesterday he marked up a drawing and saved it.
