Solidworks 2D Editor Crashes on purpose

Solidworks 2D Editor is not a replacement for AutoCAD it is designed to crash to make the software unusable and atleast very frustrating. How do i know this? 2D Editor asks you to save your open drawings before it crashes!!!

An alternative is Draftsight from Dassault (the French giant that owns Solidworks). This system is their preference in terms of which software they want people to use. It does have a more moderen look and feel but does not offer any more than 2D Editor. The lastest release of Draftsight is a Beta version and should not be used for Commercial applications. Of course both of these offerings are free.
