Experience the power of 3D design and 2D drafting
The SOLIDWORKS Standard + DraftSight Professional Bundle delivers a powerful, end-to-end design workflow for engineers, manufacturers, and product designers who need both precision 3D modeling and professional 2D drafting. SOLIDWORKS Standard provides industry-leading parametric 3D CAD tools, enabling you to design mechanical components, assemblies, and complex parts with ease. Its intuitive interface, intelligent features like mates and configurations, and a rich library of design tools accelerate every stage of product development—from concept modeling to ready-for-manufacture designs. Seamlessly transition your designs into detailed technical documentation with DraftSight Professional, which offers a familiar, DWG/DXF-compatible 2D environment trusted by millions of professionals worldwide. Together, these two solutions create a highly efficient and interconnected workflow.
Start your product design in SOLIDWORKS, iterate in 3D, validate fit and function, then move directly into DraftSight for production-ready 2D drawings, manufacturing diagrams, and layout plans. With unmatched compatibility and consistent file management, teams eliminate rework, reduce errors, and accelerate time to market. Whether you’re managing legacy DWG files, collaborating with vendors, or delivering precise engineering documentation, this bundle gives you the flexibility and power to move from design to production in one connected toolset.
SolidWorks Standard
Overview
|
Unlock industry-leading parametric 3D CAD for parts, assemblies, and drawings with SOLIDWORKS Standard. Whether you’re designing for manufacturing, sheet-metal, weldments, or tooling, SOLIDWORKS Standard gives you the essential design environment to build, validate, and document your models—all in one integrated solution.
SOLIDWORKS Standard is the foundational package in the SOLIDWORKS portfolio, delivering a full “design-to-documentation” workflow without requiring add-ons. It’s ideal for small- to mid-sized engineering offices, job shops, start-ups, and OEM suppliers who need robust CAD capabilities but don’t yet require advanced simulation, routing, or data-management modules.

|
3D Part Modeling Create robust, editable models using sketches, extrudes, revolves, sweeps, lofts, shells, ribs, patterns, and fillets in a fully parametric environment. |
Assembly Modeling Build complex assemblies with top-down/bottom-up workflows, intelligent mates, configurations, exploded views, and performance tools for large designs. |
2D Drawings & Documentation Generate associative 2D drawings from 3D models with automatic updates, full GD&T, BOMs, cut lists, and detailing for manufacturing. |
Surface Modeling & Hybrid Solids Model complex free-form surfaces and seamlessly transition between solids and surfaces for aesthetic and functional geometry. |
|
Sheet-Metal Design Design enclosures and brackets with bends, flanges, hems, forming tools, and automatic flat-pattern generation ready for CNC or laser cutting. |
Weldments Create welded frames quickly using structural profiles, automatic corner treatments, cut lists, and clear documentation for fabrication. |
Mold, Tooling & CastingSupport Accelerate core/cavity splits, draft analysis, parting lines, and tooling design to streamline mold and casting workflows. |
Design for Manufacture Use interference detection, collision checks, and basic DfM validations to reduce late-stage surprises and production rework. |
|
Visualization & Basic Animation Create exploded views and simple motion animations to communicate design intent to stakeholders and customers. |
CAD Data Exchange Import/export major neutral formats (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, ACIS, STL, etc.) for collaboration with suppliers, CAM, and downstream systems. |
Entry-Level Validation Leverage included Xpress tools (e.g., SimulationXpress, FloXpress) for quick part-level checks and early-stage insight. |
Large Assembly Performance Work faster with lightweight modes, SpeedPak, simplified configurations, and display states optimized for big models. |

Image Tracer Convert raster images in .bmp, .png, and .jpg formats into accurate and editable lines and curves in DWG files. The images can range widely from floor plans to artistic logos saving massive time and tedious effort to manually retrieve and edit the image elements. |
Layers Manager Manage and organize layers easily and consistently. Show, freeze, lock layers, or modify layer styles at one single location to carry out changes at scale and speed up your drafting process. |
Dynamic Block Support DraftSight supports viewing and manipulating AutoCAD® Dynamic Blocks. The special grips allow you to change size, shape, orientation, or even choose how a block is displayed among multiple variations carried over from your legacy drawings. |
|

|
|
|
Mechanical Toolbox DraftSight contains robust mechanical tools and symbols that will help you standardize your mechanical drafting practices and speed up your time to market. The Mechanical Toolbox allows you to choose which industry-standard you want to use or create your own custom standard. |
Visual LISP Run Visual LISP routines directly in addition to DraftSight’s existing support of AutoLISP. |
Draw Compare Compare drawing revisions to quickly identify and track changes. Draw Compare will graphically depict differences between drawings or show entities that have been added or removed in the color of your choice. |

Mouse Gestures Access your most frequently used commands by simply holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse in the proper direction to access commands and speed up drafting. |
Auto Dimension Use the AutoDimension command to dimension drawings automatically. Create baseline, continued, and ordinate dimensions for specified entries that are enclosed within a Dimension Bounding Box. |
PowerTrim PowerTrim cuts to the chase by assuming everything is a cutting edge from the get-go. Just start the PowerTrim command and drag your cursor over the entities you want to trim. That’s it! No more selecting cutting edges, you just start trimming. |
|
LISP Automation DraftSight makes it easy to load and use your favorite LISP code, including AutoLISP® and Visual LISP® to automate tedious or repetitive tasks. |
Customize with APIs DraftSight provides extensive APIs for you to build custom capabilities to fit your specific needs. In addition to LISP based automations, you can also load Dynamic Link Libraries (.dll files) or custom scripts. |
