It has come to the attention of the DraftSight team that, 32 & 64-bit versions of DraftSight released from 2012 to 2017 will not launch and/or will stop running as of March 1, 2017. SOLIDWORKS has made available a critical hotfix to resolve this issue.

UPDATE (March 10, 2017): There is now a new release of DraftSight 2017 SP1 that includes this Hot Fix in the install files. We recommend downloading and using the latest version to eliminate the need for the Hot Fix.

To avoid usage interruption, please make sure to immediately download and install this critical hotfix, which can be found on the main product download page (https://www.3ds.com/products-services/draftsight-cad-software/free-download)
