But I know a lot of people not using such handling, being lazy with backups (which is also a very critical thing), but being very happy that I have made their drawing back alive, even if it needs some work to check the content, but in many cases faster then creating all from scratch.īut to get the correct meaning: not every defect drawing can then be opened, these are no magic software boxes doing things like 'I can recover all and everything'. I would love to have a mode like ' tolerant' or ' occasionally useful ignorance' or whatever you like to call it in AutoCAD.Īpplications you mentioned having synced content between dwg and database is critical, of course. > Skipping the problems may be useful in a generic sense like trying to fix a stubborn DWG fileĪlso the compatibles have the option to run command _RECOVER and so get informed about the errors. I know a couple who use visio to do drafting style work, but they are ultimately bound by that programs functionality and very frequently have to have me bail them out when the work gets serious. Ultimately if its the right tool for the job go for it. Often those making decision based solely on money dont account for soft losses which you as a subject matter expert might be able to identify. If it is not, you should voice your opinion. Im not saying this is the case with draftsight but you as a drafter should be able to determine if the program is capable of maintaining your historical throughput. Some didn't change much of anything and indeed saved money, others were prone to poor quality and ultimately cost more than it saved.

in a past life i worked in a different industry and we switched suppliers for a cheaper consumable on several process we had. I would, however, voice my concerns if you think that the switch will not be an effective measure in cost savings. Its a bummer if that's the only system you know, though there are many cross overs and i'm sure if you have been drafting a while it wont be to hard to adapt. Then there are more suitable products (550-880USD). If I would change and data exchange is necessary, and I would need the best compatibility,

Other possible small problems could be with very special MText formatting or special dimensioning styles.ĭraftsight is really fine, the 100-150USD I understand as an extra to free programs,įor the possibility of programming (API available) and support. MVIEW/ Layout Viewport - If Attributes not by Layer0 or by the Insert-Layer are:Ī freezed Insert-Layer in current Viewport do NOT freezing any attributes of the blockreference. (Unfortunately DS was mis-programmed and the effective-name referenced the original block name, not the new one)

Edit dynamic Blocks (You get a warning), is like using RefEdit in Acad can not use the dynamic function of dynamic Blocks There is no warning!! You can edit objects normally, but you do not delete dependencies.Īs a result, the objects are crazy when they are reopened later in AutoCAD. Edit existing Geometrically Constrained Objects (from Acad). If your using Data from others to be processed further and these passed on, then it is likely that problems can occur *

If your using Data from others to be processed further, then you may experience difficulties * (Unless you have to work on extremely detailed Customer presets and follow certain AutoCAD objects and properties, by ) Test whether all objects and functions you need* If you create drawings yourself without external data, there is no problem,
