How to Make a Drawing (Site Plan) and Georeference an Image in DraftSight!

Hey Everybody

Brandon here back with the third installment of my series of videos/posts where we take a Look at the AutoCAD Alternative, DraftSight.
In case you missed them, here is Episode #1 & here is Episode #2

Today we are taking a deeper dive into the affordable AutoCAD alternative, DraftSight!

In the video, I walk you through the quick and easy process of creating a new drawing and basic Site Plan completely from scratch with DraftSight.

In the process we also take a look at one of my favorite plugins so far, OnlineMaps, which allows us to quickly and easily insert a map directly into DraftSight by utilizing ArcGIS Online from Esri.

You can find the plugin here:
