DraftSight is a free 2D CAD
(computer-aided design or computer-aided drafting) product for
engineers, architects, designers, draftspeople, students and educators.
The product was developed by Dassault Systèmes and lets users create, edit and view DWG and DXF files.
DWG files contain the binary data for CAD design and it is the
drawing format for many CAD programs. DWG is a long-time abbreviation
for "Drawing." A DXF, or Drawing Exchange File, is used to convert CAD
files into a generic format that can be read by another CAD software
product.
