January 15, 2026

The tutorial introduces DraftSight’s core drawing tools, showing how to initiate commands, use the line tool, apply polar tracking, and snap to geometry for accuracy. It demonstrates creating shapes, drawing tangent‑based circles, and using power trim for fast clean‑ups. Modification tools such as copy, mirror, rotate, scale and stretch are shown alongside properties for colour and layer changes. The video highlights efficient workflows for building and editing 2D geometry, emphasising command‑line options and DraftSight’s similarity to other CAD systems
