Luckily, there seems to be an easy fix for this. The error is explained in SPR 1182057 which states, “This crash may occur if the value of the ‘Date created’, ‘Date modified’, or ‘Date accessed’ value of the file is not between midnight, Januthrough DecemUniversal Coordinated Time (UTC).”

You have to use the Key Combination: -Windows key+Ctrl+Shift+B- This basically resets your graphics card driver. Specifically, the “created by” date will change to a very low or high date that is not within SolidWorks’ range of acceptable dates. It happens to a lot of Dual Monitor users. The reasoning for this is when the file is dragged over, the file properties change and SolidWorks is unable to read it. The crash seems to occur when files are dragged straight out of Outlook or other programs directly into Window’s Explorer. It seems to be exclusive to non-native SolidWorks files such as STEP files but could happen to native SolidWorks files as well.

I get Draftsight has stopped working error and the only option is to close program without saving. It is a very frustrating time when you want to open a file in SolidWorks and the program crashes. Draftsight Crashes While working in Draftsight and typing or using a specific function it locks up and crashes not allowing me to save what I have done in that session.
