📝 Feedback / Bug Report (macOS aarch64 – Open CAD Studio v0.9.7)
When trying to open a DWG file on macOS using Right‑click → Open With → Open CAD Studio, the app shows the following error:
The document “COTE TEREN INITIAL 21.08.2026.dwg” could not be opened. Open CAD Studio cannot open files in the “AutoCAD Drawing” format.
However, dragging the DWG file into the already opened application works correctly.
🔍 Observed Behavior
• Right‑click → Open With → ❌ file does not open, error message appears.
• Drag & drop into the app → ✔ file opens without issues.
💻 Environment
• Open CAD Studio: v0.9.7
• Platform: macOS aarch64
📌 Expected Behavior
The DWG file should open correctly via “Open With”, not only through drag & drop.
