Drawing Workspace Blank on Mac Pro

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing a persistent issue with Fusion 360 on my Mac Pro (Late 2013). Whenever I switch from the Design workspace to the Drawing workspace, the sheet remains completely blank. No title block, no borders, and I cannot place a base view at all.

I have already tried:

Switching between OpenGL, Metal, and Automatic in Preferences.
Disabling high-resolution canvas graphics and adjusting transparency/performance settings.
Enabling “Override Chromium GPU Workarounds.”
Clearing cache and resetting Fusion with the Service Utility.

Unfortunately, none of these steps solved the problem.

I am aware that my Mac is no longer officially supported, but I don’t have an alternative machine right now, and I would really like to find a workaround if possible.

Here is the GPU diagnostic information provided by Fusion:

[GPU Information]
GPU Device: AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D700
GPU RAM: 6144 MB
GPU Driver API: OpenGL Core Profile

[Graphics Effects Settings]
Use High-Resolution Graphics: On
Anti-Aliasing: Off
Ambient Occlusion: Off
Object Shadow: Off
Ground Shadow: Off
Ground Reflection: Off
Selection Display Style: Simple
Transparency Effect: Better Performance

Has anyone else encountered the same issue with blank drawings on older Mac hardware?
And if so, were you able to find a workaround that allowed you to at least use the Drawing workspace?

Thank you very much in advance for any advice or experience you can share!

Warm regards,

Alessandro

Sorry,

I didn't do it on purpose: I've published the first message without apparently being logged in (don't know how that is possible) and, as I couldn't find it, I published it again.
I'm trying to delete the other one.

Thanks
