Drawing Workspace Blank on Mac Pro

[alessandro.vasapolli]

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

It seems as though they have fixed the glitch.  I was able to play in some drawings for about an hour today and then poof.  All drawings are blank.  You can still create them, but they open as a white screen.

LULZ.

There went 10 hours of work.
