DraftSight Keynote

Gian Paolo Bassi, SOLIDWORKS CEO, Manish Kumar, SOLIDWORKS R&D Vice-President, and Andreas Kulik, Worldwide 3DEXPERIENCE Works Senior Director

The way our clients design and collaborate has seen dramatic changes over the past couple of years. Transparent and inclusive collaboration powered by zero-barrier access to data has become the center of innovation, design, and manufacturing processes worldwide. Digital transformation is driving innovation and the evolution of design and manufacturing solutions across many industries and sectors. We are at the forefront of this innovation and invite you to join us to learn more about how the combined power of DraftSight, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables entire organizations to imagine, design and build new products and services for a more sustainable world.

Making the Switch from AutoCAD® to DraftSight

Lynn Allen (Technology Evangelist)

Everyone’s favorite Technology Evangelist, Lynn Allen, unravels DraftSight from the perspective of a former AutoCAD user, author, and vlogger. From exploring the familiar user interface to using key commands and features, Lynn will demonstrate how easy the transition to DraftSight can be. You’ll even discover some cool DraftSight tools you’ll wish your current CAD program had!

Introducing the New DraftSight Mechanical

Ramon Busboom (Industry Business Consultant)

The DraftSight portfolio has been extended with a new version for Mechanical Designers. Discover the features of the newly announced DraftSight Mechanical, which combines the productivity-driven features of the DraftSight Premium version with the new features for 2D mechanical drawings. Learn how your older AutoCAD Mechanical® legacy DWG’s are supported to read and update the part references, part lists, and bills of materials.

DraftSight For the AutoCAD User

Don Glaske (Manager, CAM Services)

Learn about the many benefits and low learning curve that DraftSight provides when transitioning from AutoCAD. You’ll be shown how the two products are very similar, and how DraftSight helps with the change by using the same command names that an AutoCAD user will already know. You’ll also learn how easy it is to transfer your customizations, such as CUI’s, CTB’s, LISP and Visual LISP routines, into DraftSight. You will leave with a full understanding of the various product versions, how they differ, and how to make the correct choice for your own unique situation.

Myth Buster of Complex Data Management and CAD

Alex Timofeev (Director, Worldwide 3DEXPERIENCE Business Development)

Join us to learn how to go beyond broad concepts and make data management and collaboration a reality with 3DEXPERIENCE DraftSight. Learn how a single solution can give you the familiar environment of DWG CAD design, and the built-in capabilities to actually transform how to manage your data and collaborate with your teams. Get the insight and confidence that data management and workflows for your DWG files does not require tons of investment and time for implementation.

But Wait, There’s More!

Ramon Busboom will show you how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps collaboration in a Facilities Management use case. In another session, Ramon will also introduce you to the new DraftSight Mechanical version.

Are you interested in extending DraftSight’s capabilities with LISP, but not sure where to start? Vince Aman’s class on Customizing DraftSight & Introduction to LISP is for you.

On a similar note, if you’re a CAD Administrator, you’ll want to attend Johnathen Lieber’s two-part DraftSight Admins class where you’ll learn about Sheet Sets, Custom Blocks, and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

And, of course, no conference would be complete without software tips, techniques, and insights. John Nolin and Yatish Krishnamachar each have a session that will get you more productive with some tools you may not even know about.
