We're trying to make the move over from AutoCad, and one thing we use a lot is the "Design Center" to drop in blocks, layouts, and layer types. I'm not finding anything that gives me the ability to do that in Draftsight.

I've been messing around with weldments using lumber profiles, and it makes doing take-offs a cinch when you insert the weldment cut-list into the drawing. I didn't see anywhere else to download them from, so I though I would share them here for anyone to use if they wanted. Hope you enjoy...
I've hidden a detail view for a feature on a drawing, because the feature isn't visible in this particular configuration being laid out in this specific drawing. I've tried everything, but can't seem to hide the detail view circle that draws attention to the location of the feature. I did find...

I'm in the middle of creating a Driveworks Express Database and capturing info for a part, and I've just realized I didn't make a drawing of a part before I started the wizard. Is there anyway for me to go back in and attach a drawing if I complete the session without selecting one? I really...
I have a detail drawing where I've added a CL to a feature by selecting "Centerline" from the Annotation menu, and clicking on two edges. The CL has since been deleted, and when I try to add it to the feature again I can't. I get the message "There is centerline existing between between the...

I have a general assembly model I wanted to make of a conveyor roller that we buy a lot of, and I wanted to make different configurations for diameter, length, and hex axle. I made (3) different part files for the roller tube, bearing, and axle, and then an assembly using the parts. How can I...
