I have been using this DraftSight for a week and I am very pleased with this Beta release.

This has much better "Options" interface then the AutoCad 2009 but there many little issues should be addressed.  For now, I have to go back to  DWGeditor and SW 2D Editor to import a view(s) (not the complete drawing) from our legacy Autocad drawings  to Solidworks 2D Sketch via copy (Ctl+C) and paste(Ctl+V).   DWGeditor and SW 2D Editor work very well for this application but the DraftSight does not.  I have tried this on Windows XP 64 and Windows i7 64.

Do you have a solution for this issue?
