EDU file? from MECH version of AutoCAD too.

See attached, purged the file and changed Shademode to 2D for this exercise, no issues in R2021.1.1 in WIn10Pro here.

your DWG file contains AUTOCADMECHANICAL content (aka MECH), so you did not create this file from plain AutoCAD alone in your Educational software. Or are you using MECH?

Either way there is nothing wrong with your file, no crashes here.
