Default DraftSight No Longer Free

A lot of this of course hs come about due to gdpr and the use of ad blockers
on browsers. In the end no such thing as a free lunch and applications that
gather data now have to tell you they do or be in breach of the law, and
obviously many sites now stop you using them if you use an ad blocker
leaving funding a problem, as they cannot harvest usage data and all the
other stuff in secret any more.

Hi Guys

Not sure how many users I have recommended this software to, but
unfortunately DraftSight will be a paid for app from later this year.

No way am I complaining, I was amazed to find such a complete semi-pro
drawing application available for free.
Provided you didn't want support it was free for business users as well as
non-commercial. Saved the company some money over the years, and me the
admin of sorting licenses.

All good things etc...

If anyone knows of a similar AutoCAD LT clone that is freely available
please let me know. The only down side is that you would get an alert
when opening a Draftsight drawing in AutoCAD to say that it had been
created using a non-genuine AutoCAD application (or some alert message
very similar).


Just thought I would share.
