Transparent PNG Background Showing As Black

Hello DraftSight Community!

I have searched the help files and done a bunch of web searches for an answer to this question, but I can't find the answer. Hopefully you will be able to help me.

I am trying to insert a PNG image file with a transparent background into a drawing, but the background of the inserted file that should be transparent is BLACK when I insert it into my DraftSight drawing!

The same PNG file inserts fine and has a transparent background when inserting into other software programs such as Libre Office Draw or Writer.

Thank you in advance for any help!! I really appreciate it!!

Kind regards, Jeffrey Bruton
