To me it seems like Dassault are trying to kill Autodesk’s cash cow – AutoCAD – which retails for approximately US$4ooo a licence. Previously Dassault half-heartedly had a go at 2d modeling with their DWGEditor, but DraftSight is a totally new product and a serious move into this market. I have heard some colourful explanations for this move, including file to factory not being adopted / profitable, and the 70’s being back in vogue. Dassault are better known for CATIA and Solidworks, two high end, 3d parametric modeling programs that champion file to factory manufacturing. He past week was filled with software launches. For me the most curious of these launches is Dassault’s DraftSight, a clone of AutoCAD ( free to download here).
