Drawing views suddenly not visible

I'm not sure if this happened just before or after the latest version update, but none of my drawings are visible when opened and neither are new drawings I create.  They are visible in the thumbnail at the bottom of the page, but not on screen.

I'm using a MacBook Air running Monterey 12.7.6

What the heck?

Hi! Fusion Drawing view is like a camera looking at a 3D model in a given direction and a given distance (scale). When the view geometry is gone, typically it is caused by the followings.

 

1) The body or the component visibility in the drawing is off.

2) Graphics settings. Please make sure the latest graphics driver is updated.

3) There is a piece of hidden geometry extremely large or the model is placed very far away from the origin. You may check the physical properties (COG or MOI) to see if they are reasonable.

4) The model geometry becomes bad for whatever reason. Move the Timeline bar to right behind the very first body generating feature -> Save. Update the drawing. Does the model reappear? If yes, it means one of the features turns the body bad. Move the Timeline bar slightly to the right and find out the culprit feature.

 

Please feel free to share the f3z file here. The forum experts can help take a look.

Many thanks!

The bad model doesn't make sense to me since, in the thumbnail for each sheet at the bottom of the page, the drawing is clearly visible.  Also, I was able to view them normally on another computer, so I'm suspecting it's my operation system which has become "unsupported" and I can't update the operating system on this machine.
