The add-in registers automatically if DraftSight is present when installed. If DraftSight is installed on a system that already has a SOLIDWORKS PDM client installation, you might have to modify the client installation to add the DraftSight add-in. Learn how to et PDM installed on your system in the video below. Note: When you set the Client Options make sure you check on the DraftSight add-in as in the image below. Once you have the PDM add-in and DraftSight both installed you need to turn on the application in DraftSight. To activate the add-in from within DraftSight, go to Manage > Add-ins, and activate SOLIDWORKS PDM add-in. If you are not seeing the Manage option in the ribbon bar the please note workspace settings in the top right corner of your DraftSight application. You will need to be in the Drafting and Annotation workspace to see the Manage tab for the add-ins. With the PDM add-in turned on you will see the PDM tab added to the ribbon bar as well as the quick access menu in the top right corner of the interface. ![]() You are now ready to start using the power of SOLIDWORKS PDM with your DraftSight application.The snap grid is an invisible grid in the graphics area. With snap activated, the pointer selects only points positioned directly on the snap grid. When you point to the drawing, start points, end points, center points, and other specific points lie exactly on points of the snap grid. Use the Snap command to determine the distance between snap points. The snap grid follows the axes of the current coordinate system. You can also use an isometric style of snap. To specify snap spacing, type a positive number or select two points that reflect the snap spacing.Use isometric snap to create 2D isometric drawings representing 3D entities. Typically, the snap grid coincides with the grid display defined by the Grid command. To turn snap on or off, specify the On or Off options.Another method is to set the snap grid to a partial fraction of the grid display. Set the X and Y spacing of the snap grid by specifying the Spacing option and specifying values for horizontal and vertical spacing.Specify the Grid style option and specify.Sets up an isometric snap grid aligned along lines 30, 90, and 150 degrees from the horizontal axis. Specify vertical spacing for an isometric snap grid when prompted. Unlike rectangular snap, isometric snap cannot have different Spacing values. Use the IsometricGrid command to determine the active isometric plane to draw on (left, top, or right). Sets up an orthogonal snap grid aligned parallel to the X- and Y-axes of the current coordinate system.Specify the Orientation option to set the type of snap and specify.The radial snap grid aligns along polar angle increments. ![]()
