For engineers, architects, and designers, CAD software is indispensable. But what if you need to work on a DWG file on a computer that doesn’t have DraftSight installed? The answer for many is DraftSight Portable — a version of the popular 2D/3D CAD application configured to run directly from a USB drive without formal installation. What Exactly Is DraftSight Portable? DraftSight Portable is not an official product from Dassault Systèmes, but rather a community- or self-created portable version of DraftSight. It is created by taking a licensed installation of DraftSight (typically an older version like 2017 or 2019) and repackaging it using portabilizing tools (e.g., Cameyo, VMware ThinApp, or PortableApps.com platform).
