    Yes. The makers of AutoCAD is AutoDesk. They directly compete against Dassault Systems which makes DraftSight. DraftSight is free from Dassault and is their version of AutoCAD. They made it free to try and take more business away from AutoDesk. I use both at work. They both can save in the standard drawing file format of .dwg and draftsight uses many of the same keyboard commands as autocad.
