Forgive me, but what problem are you trying to solve exactly? "foriegn dwg file" means little as I look at your file, other than the fact that it appears your dimensions are all messed up because someone moved the model but forgot to turn on that layer first

Hi,

the first message tells you that this DWG file was produced on a none-Autodesk product.

It's a warning, not an error. Just run _AUDIT to make sure that the internal drawing database is ok.

The second messages gives you the info, that AutoCAD tries to load a tool (in that case ACADDOC.LSP) from a folder that is not marked as a trusted folder. And to prevent that AutoCAD then loads a virus it gives you that warning with the question if you want to load it or not.

I would not load a file ACADDOC.LSP from a download folder as long as I don't know who created that file and if I can trust it more than 100%.

Hi,

just one warning from my side: a downloads folder is imho always a critical folder for the first place of a virus.

So please think about that decision to add the downloads folder to the trusted paths!
