I'm trying to import a CAD file into my model and everytime I do this I get the dredded "A serious error has occurred." message. Anyone know why or how I can fix this so I can import it?

Solved by danielfolk. Go to Solution.
I would open the DWG file in CAD, Then PUGRGE ALL, AUDIT, and SAVE,
Then I will try again to import it in REVIT.
Good Luck

I figured out a way around it. I created a new drawing in AutoCAD and copied the information that I needed from the old .dwg to a new .dwg and it imported correctly. Evidently something didn't jive in the original .dwg that was causing the error.
In my case I narrowed it down to two layers in the DWG file.
I could not determine if it was one or the other, I had to delete all objects on both layers and purge the drawing before the DWG would import without error. Eliminateing one or the other layer had no effect.
The method I wound up using after all else failed was this:
Narrowed it dwn in about a half a dozen rounds (not bad for a drawing with several hundred layers...)
