Hello
As a new user of Draftsight, I am very satisfied with it compared to Autocad. But I already have a first problem, I looked in the forum but I didn't find the solution:
On the "sheet" tab, my windows created with the "single mosaic" button are empty, impossible to make a drawing of the "model" area appear, I tore out my hair to try to understand, and then by making a print preview, magic, the drawing appears?!?
So I tinker a bit blindly to make my impressions, but it's not great.
With screenshots it will be more telling:
View of a "sheet" presentation page

Same page print preview view

Thank you for your help, I don't know this forum well yet but you seem very nice;) and I'm not saying that to get a faster answer:p

Do you have the latest version of DraftSight?
Update first to be sure.

Hello
I just reinstalled it following a change of PC, I have the V1R3.1 x64 version, I'll still see if there is an update...
Edit: indeed we are at the V1R5.2 version I'm far from it, thank you I'll see if it helps me:)

A priori it's a color problem, try resetting the following parameter:
Tools > Options > System Options > Show > Element Colors

The update fixed the problem, thank you very much!!
on the other hand I got an error message related to the graphics card, and it became very slow to use... can we fix it from Drafsight?
thank you again

Try updating the graphics card.
If you have SolidWorks, you have to choose the drivers from this list:

Otherwise with an Nvidia graphics card, you can try to disable several settings specifically for DratSight in the Nvidia control panel> 3D Settings > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings Tab > Add DraftSight
In this list, you can disable antialiasing and vertical sync.

Thank you for your precise answers!
Up-to-date graphics card, still slow, sorry to insist:)
FYI my graphics card: Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset, not listed on solidworks.

Well unfortunately I think there is no other solution than to put back an old version, or wait for an update, sorry!
Did you restart the computer?
