Draftsight 2018 SP2 crashing on macOS 10.14

john rattray Oct 29, 2018 8:13 AM

Since Apple have released 10.14 (Mojave) Draftsight refuses to load.

Crashes instantly upon loading, not been able to find any information about why it is so, automatically send information to Apple but not making much progress.

Is anyone else have this problem?

Hello John.
I dont know if this helps, but on the draftsight page, Mojave v10.14 is not on the list of supported MacOS. I assume they will release an update soon.

  Thanks for this Frederik - not often these days do I find the different updated op-sys cause grief with the software offerings.
  
  I've got one sole Windows machine which is solving the lack of a operating Mac installation. I will bide my time now until we get a SP3 offering out into the wild.
  
  Kind regards

    Hi John,
    
    I have exactly the same problem. I just installed macOS 10.14 Mojave and DraftSight 2018 SP2 (2018.2.0.3102), which was installed before, crashes on every attempt to be launched. Even worse, it seems to crash the entire system, at least the UI stalls completely. I have not yet checked if the stall could be resolved remotely via ssh, I needed to reboot the Mac. I have a DraftSight crash log available if that would help.
    
    Have you got any insight when a patch becomes available?
    
    Best Regards
    
    Patrick

      Hi Patrick.
      I've not found any timeframe for SP3, let's hope it's not far off.
      
      Cheers
      
      John

        Hi John,
        
        Good news: In fact SP3 is already released! See here: https://www.3ds.com/products-services/draftsight-cad-software/latest-version/
        The release notes specifically mention the improved (though no official) support of macOS 10.14 Mojave! I downloaded and installed it and despite a very slow first start (minutes of Dock-bouncing on a quick i7), DraftSight seems to work reasonably ok again. I have not done much with it, but I'm happy to be able to open all my existing drawings again!
        
        Best Regards
        
        Patrick

        Well spotted Patrick, installed and working again.
        Was an instant restart here on a 3.1 i7 - the luck of the game I suspect.
        
        Cheers
