Don’t pay thousands to upgrade your 2D CAD software

On April 8,2014, Microsoft will end support for their Microsoft XP operating system.  According to their website:  If you continue to use Windows XP after support ends, your computer will still work but it might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.

If you are running an older version of a 2D CAD product on the XP operating system, you may have to pay a significant amount to upgrade the product to work with newer versions of Windows. This could cost your business tens of thousands of dollars–or more.

You do have a significantly less expensive, quality alternative: DraftSight. DraftSight runs on Windows 7 and 8, and offers the following three options for your 2D CAD needs:

  1. DraftSight Professional: Provides unique enhancements to DraftSight’s free V1R4.0 or later for Windows – including APIs, the Design Library, Toolbox for DraftSight, Drawing Compare, product upgrades and more. Learn more and buy now! (No minimum purchase required).
