DraftSight generally takes a few minutes to download and runs on multiple operating systems, including Mac OS, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and is available for professional CAD users, students and educators. Linux support will be available later this year.
“Creating a specific DraftSight interface for Mac OS was always in our plans when we began the development of DraftSight,” said Aaron Kelly, general manager, DraftSight, Dassault Systèmes. “We had a vision to create a true, platform-specific experience for many operating systems, including Mac, and are excited to hear the feedback from our user community. We want to offer our users the convenience of being able to use DraftSight from any computer, whether they are home or at work.”
In conjunction with DraftSight, Dassault Systèmes also recently launched an open, online community.
