Case Study: Bobst Group eliminates DWG data incompatibility and standardizes 2D drawings with Dassault Systemes DraftSight

Eliminating DWG data incompatibility with DraftSight

Bobst Group, a leading supplier to packaging manufacturers, struggled with DWG data incompatibility after using a variety of 2D drawing tools and needed a single, standard solution for creating and exchanging 2D geometry. To solve this, Bobst chose DraftSight from Dassault Systemes as its unified 2D CAD platform.

Dassault Systemes deployed DraftSight company-wide (with an optional Premium Service Pack for support, network licensing and APIs), providing native DWG handling that simplified installation and license management, eliminated data exchange problems, and standardized 2D workflows across Bobst’s global sites. The rollout delivered measurable impact—strong user approval, improved product and technical support quality, and broader uptake of DraftSight (over 825,000 downloads in its first year).
