Instructions for use

Hello

I am a new user of the Draftsight software to draw plans for future work. I have a few obstacles to its optimal use.

Does anyone have the instructions for this software in French, unfortunately I only found it in English. And my English skills aren't very advanced!!

Thank you for your answers!!

Hello

 

What software is it?

Maybe fill in your profile about the software used and put a "Software" tag when you ask a question :)

Hello

 

When you say user manual, do you say Online Help or tutorials?

The online help is for me in French in DraftSight, as for tutorials, I don't know if there are any.

Indeed, the getting started guide is in English.

 

However, as Coyote says, the online help is in French.

In addition, a good solution to learn a little faster is to go directly to Youtube to search for videos on the software.

This allows you to learn how to manipulate and it is often much simpler than tutorials.

 

In short, several solutions are possible without necessarily being bilingual:)

Hello

I agree with everything that has been said here: help in French, video on youtube. You can also try translating the "Getting started" with Google Translator!

And I will add that for a particular problem, you can ask the question on this forum, and we will answer you, usually quite quickly!

It should also be noted that DraftSight is very close to AutoCAD (for the not too old versions), and the Internet is full of tutorials for AutoCAD, which works more than 70% for DraftSight.

On the other hand, DraftSight does not have a "Design Center" like in AutoCAD.

 

For fred, this guide is only in English!
