GraebertlogoBERLIN, Germany, Oct 10, 2014 – Graebert GmbH the pioneer in developing high-performance CAD solutions across desktop and mobile devices announced more than 20 plug-ins to customize the industry-leading DraftSight 2D CAD solution (which was co-developed by Graebert in tandem with Dassault Systèmes.

The new Graebert plug-ins add a wide range of industry-specific functionality to DraftSight and include:

  • G-Electrical for Electrical CAD
  • TopoPoint for import/export of topographic points
  • CAD Blocks, a range of smart block libraries for DraftSight

While DraftSight also supports plug-ins developed in LISP or via a COM interface, the DraftSight API is a modern C++ development library that has been specifically developed for the program. One of its unique advantages is forward-compatibility, meaning that plug-ins created for one version of DraftSight will be supported by future versions. The Graebert plug-ins introduced at the Graebert Annual Meeting take full advantage of DraftSight for maximum performance and functionality.

Graebert also announced (in collaboration with Dassault Systèmes) a new DraftSight Developers World Tour to introduce the DraftSight API, increase the catalog of plug-ins for DraftSight and engage with developers. This World Tour will also offer developers a unique opportunity to become introduced to the DraftSight API with a series of free workshops.

The first event on the Tour has already taken place at the Graebert Annual Meeting in Berlin and further dates will be scheduled in Paris, Boston, Phoenix (SolidWorks World 2015) and Bangkok.
