This issue may be caused by a restriction in the OpenDWG library, which often has trouble with DWG files containing proxy elements. We suggest that you import the equivalent DXF file instead. Visit the cad-schroer.com website to download our FREE DWG to DXF preconverter: csgdwgdxf. More information about OpenDWG and proxy elements: CADConvert uses the OpenDWG library provided by the Open Design Alliance to import AutoCAD DWG files. A proxy element is a data container which has been inserted into a DWG/DXF file by an AutoCAD add-on application (e.g. Genius).
