Crashing when rotating, copying, moving, or printing.

Draftsight Standard crashes, and then closes out or freezes, right after rotating a drawing, copying parts from the drawing, moving parts of the drawing, or trying to print. After trying to re-open a file (example.dwg) it only allows for read only mode because it says drawing is already open by you. My computer (Windows 10) inaccurately reports that the drawing is already open, which is not the case (i.e. after restart)

“example.dwg is actively in use by:

User at PCxxxx.

Would you like to open the file read-only?”


There are .dl files (example.dl) which must be deleted before the example.dwg file can be opened.

This happens on various computers running Windows 7, 8, and 10.

Crashing still occurs in compatibility mode as well. 


Crashing still occurs with "Use Dashed Entity Selection Highlighting"
