Free 2D CAD software now runs on Mac OS

Dassault Systèmes announced that its DraftSight 2D CAD software is now available for Mac OS. DraftSight is a free 2D CAD product, available for free download which only requires activation for standalone installations. It is offered for mainly for professional CAD users, students and educators.

Introduced in June, DraftSight facilitates users to create, edit and view DWG files. DraftSight typically takes only a few minutes to download and operates on multiple operating systems, such as Mac OS, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Furthermore, Linux support will also be available later this year.

Coming together with DraftSight, the company has also recently launched an open, online community accessible through DraftSight.com. The community empowers users to access new services and products, with an abundance of online training resources. Within this specific online community, users have the opportunity to learn by interacting with other members and by sharing their opinions or challenges on specific topics, or anything they are passionate about when it deals with CAD and DraftSight.
