Temporary Workaround:
If this does not help, there is workaround available.
OPENGLPROFILE Adjustment:
- Open DraftSight.
- Type '_OPENGLprofile' in the command line and press Enter.
- Select 'ANGLE Options> 'DirectX' or 'Software'.
- Click 'OK', then restart DraftSight to apply the changes.
Note: OpenGL Core is the officially supported and recommended graphics profile for optimal performance and stability. The ANGLE profile should only be used as a temporary workaround when issues prevent the use of OpenGL Core.
