I upgraded to Draftsight 2016 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Now, when I start, there is no menu on the top.

screen shot Mouse hover

Does anybody have an idea how to get the menu back?

  • See what happens when you mouse over the title bar (the dark gray one at the very top). – TheWanderer Apr 07 '16 at 01:08
  • @Zacharee1 Nothing happens when I hover the mouse on top – Edgar H Apr 09 '16 at 13:27
  • What happens if you close all applications running in a window, then open a terminal and type unity. After that you can close the terminal and try to open your application and see if the menus are then there. – Videonauth May 20 '16 at 18:28

The same thing happened to me. There seems to be a conflict with an older config file. Go to ~/.config folder and rename the DraftSight folder (e.g. to DraftSight.bak) so that DraftSight creates a new config folder. The menus should then reappear when you open DraftSight, but you will have to go through the configuration options to set it up the way you had it before.

What helped to me after upgrading to 2016 was copying the xml file from
~/.config/DraftSight/12.1.2/Workspace/ to ~/.config/DraftSight/13.0.9/Workspace/ as it was absent in the folder for the newer version (only files .original and .bak were there, probably backups not loaded by Draftsight).

If you are trying to get the tools to show up again, you have to right click where the should be and select main, then choose the tool set you would like. Hope this is helpful.
