DRAFTSIGHT FOR MAC SCREEN MAC OS X
DRAFTSIGHT FOR MAC SCREEN CODE

The 3D-related commands include Constrained Orbit (3dOrbit), Hide, Shade (flat, grourard), and Animated Rendering. (See more comments about 3D under Draw Menu, below.)

This menu contains 3D viewing commands, even though DraftSight is considered 2D-only. Pasteboard-related commands like Copy and Copy with Reference Point, Cut, Paste and Paste as Block are available. This menu is missing OLE-related commands, which are not possible on OS X. I like the way it easily saves print configurations. It is nothing like AutoCAD's Plot dialog box, so be prepared to spend a bit of time learning how it works. Print brings up the Mac-style print dialog box, with options specific to DraftSight. Same for the Publish eDrawings command perhaps both are activated once you pay maintenance? My understanding it that it should upload the current drawing to Dassault's servers, for viewing by others in their Web browsers or iPads. DXF - R12 through 2010, ASCII or binaryĮxport exports drawings in a number of bitmap formats (JPG, BMP, etc), PDF, and 'Export Drawing,' which brings up the WBlock dialog box.ĭrawings Now didn't work for me.Save As does have a 'files of type' dropdown, and it supports the following formats:

You can open files regularly, as read-only, or with encoding - which refers to the text code for international languages. All files in the current folder are listed, even though most cannot be opened. The dialog box is strange, because it lacks a 'files of type' extension filter. New provides access to just two DWT template files, Standard.dwt and StandardIso.dwt. This menu item holds the Preferences (Options) command, as well as system commands, such as About, Hide, and Quit. I'm going to run through all the menu items to see what's new or different from AutoCAD for Windows.Īll Mac apps share the same menu bar (bad design, in my opinion), and all have an application menu that's made from the name of the app.

I've downloaded and installed the beta Mac OS X version of DraftSight, the free DWG-based 2D editor from Dassault Systemes (OEM'ed from Graebert of Germany).
