A workaround was found.

1. Connect an external storage or resize (without deleting information) a
partition on HDD to install Ubuntu 11.04 (approx 8 GB);
2. Install UBUNTU, Wine, DraftSight and register it;
3. Rename Wineprefix of Ubuntu 11.04 (usually .wine in home (~) folder) and
copy it to Ubuntu 12.04 Home folder
4. Save backup copy of Wineprefix. Delete a partition with Ubuntu 11.04 and
restore partitioning on HDD if nessesary. 
4. Create a script for Bash or Sh. Replace two times <Full path to DraftSight
wineprefix> with actual full path to DraftSight wineprefix.

#!/bin/sh
cd "<Full path to DraftSight wineprefix>/drive_c/Program Files/Dassault
Systemes/DraftSight/bin/"
env WINEPREFIX=<Full path to DraftSight wineprefix> wine "c:\Program
Files\Dassault Systemes\DraftSight\bin\DraftSight.exe"

5. Use this script to run DraftSight. You can place a link to it to Desktop or
launch menu.

You can restore new DraftSight wineprefix from backup copy in a future.
Do not use this wineprefix on multiple PCs! Do not distribute it! It may block
re-registration process and violate license! If you need to install enother
copy create enother wineprefix by step 1...5!!! I did not try to create a
wineprefix on one PC and copy to enother.
