It's a good product, very simple for take measures on worksite, perfect for begin layout... or transfer to Cad application... there is a lot advantage directly inside it.
The issue that bothered me the most is its mandatory bidding features. We have no need for them.
The customer support team is fantastic, and was eager to know about my experience with the tool and what they could do to improve.
Lack of features for more complicated drawings.
We have been using ArcSite for years now, and I have the utmost respect for the company, they truly want to help the customer/user be successful.
No desktop version, limited export options, inconsistent and limited dimensioning, and not easy to get area measurements. Higher levels are a bit expensive.
ArcSite has given us the ability to create beautiful, quality, custom bids for the work we do on our customers home that is unparalleled.
There are times when very detailed drawings can be a pain. Sometimes it is difficult to draw or drag and place lines that are close together.
The best thing about this software is its affordable price and the amount of functions it has. Just a big wow and also a very easy transition from other 2D and 3D design software.
I lost unsaved work and wasted hours restarting the application, which did cost me a few hundred dollars on billable hours.
The price, as a free user, it great. And what I like most is the fact that it's easier and more logical that other 2D cad software.
Costs me So Much Wasted time due to Constantly crashing and No Solutions seem to be available except and endless Sea of on Line Suggestions that do not work. Complete Lack of Real Customer Support.
The interface is very similar to leading CAD software. The free version is amazing for a 2D CAD.
Technical support seems to be overseas with broken English and difficulty to read English. After 14 days, they said there is hotfix "DraftSight memory saturation hotfix" that could solve the problem.
It does everything i want it do to, and it's very easy to use. It has a lot of really good features, and you can create drawings very quickly.
I downloaded Autocad lt. and will not go back to Draftshight due to no customer support and a major waste of time trying to get it fix.
