For individuals, designers, makers, manufacturers, professionals, and companies that need a robust 2D drafting and 3D design experience to help meet their needs on drafting, modeling, prototyping, manufacturing, laser cutting and 3D printing. It includes all the time-saving productivity functionalities and APIs in addition to the full 3D tools and constraints capabilities that are exclusive to Premium version.
Entrepreneurs, manufacturers, designers, and engineers choose DraftSight Premium to experience an all-in-one, collaborative CAD solution to effortlessly go from 2D drafting to 3D modeling within the same environment, and to seamlessly connect to other solutions and services.
DraftSight Premium includes all the features in DraftSight Professional, plus full 3D capabilities, 2D constraints and powerful integrations with other Dassault Systèmes and SOLIDWORKS® solutions, including SOLIDWORKS PDM and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform that allow for easy collaboration and management of DWG file designs from first inspiration to final outcome.
Experience premium 3D modeling tools to create anything from basic 3D shapes like boxes, wedges, cylinders, and spheres to sketch-based complex 3D solids using Extrude, Revolve, Sweep, Polysolid, Push and Pull, and Loft functions. Leverage 2D geometry to transform into 3D solids and send for downstream use in different file formats like .stl or .sat for 3D printing or use them with other 3D applications.
Easily modify 3D solids using Boolean operations such as Union, Intersect and Subtract, reshape the edges using Fillet Edges or Chamfer Edges with different options, and use the Shell function to create a hollow, thin wall with a specified thickness.
Control drawing entities parametrically by specifying geometric and dimensional properties. Easily define the relationships between entities and control their dimensions like length and angle.
Create complex 3D surfaces or geometries by defining a mesh with custom contours and numerous editable points for better control and design.
Realize the potential of your designs through seamless integrations including SOLIDWORKS Visualize for rendering, SOLIDWORKS Simulation for analysis and 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace Make to connect with manufacturers worldwide for 3D printing, laser cutting, or other processes to create your 3D.
More options, choices and tools to suit your design needs and preferences.
3D Rotate
Rotate drawing entities in 3D space around a specified axis.
Align 3D
Align entities with respect to other entities or other target points in 3D space.
Mirror 3D
Create a mirror image in a 3D plane around a 3D axis.
Pattern 3D
Create a pattern of entities in 3D space, either in a linear matrix or a circular alignment about a rotation axis.
Chamfer Edges
Bevel the edges of 3D solid objects.
Fillet Edges
Round the edges of 3D solid objects.
Shell
Create a hollow, thin wall with a specified thickness on a 3D solid object.
Interference checking
Check interferences within a solid model.
Slice
Slice 3D solids with a plane or surface
Thicken
Thickens surfaces to produce 3D solids
3D Face
Create three - or four-sided surfaces in space.
3D Mesh
Generate 3D PolygonMeshes
Edge
Create a 3D PolygonMesh between four boundaries.
Revolved
Revolve a path curve (profile) around an axis to create a surface.
Rules
Create a ruled surface between two boundary curves (profiles), resulting in a PolygonMesh surface.
Tabulated
Create a tabular surface using a path curve and a direction vector, resulting in a PolygonMesh surface
Cross Section
Generate a cross section based on the intersection of a plane and 3D solids.
Make Flat Snapshot
Project a flat representation of 3D solid objects and regions to your drawing's X-Y plane of the active Custom Coordinate System (CCS)
Geometric constraints
Define Geometric Constraints for one or more entities.
Dimensional constraints
Define Dimensional Constraints for entities or between constraint points on entities.
