@Haggai N2

Though you use FlexSim Express version(free license), you can import AutoCAD dwg as background. First try to import the default AutoCAD file in your installed FlexSim provided.

The file of 'Er_Small.dwg' name exist in your flexsim directory.

And next, make you a reference in the flexsim manual (Help).

Your autoCAD dwg file has many invalid entities of AutoCAD and they make importing result trouble. If you will upload your dwg file, anyone can help you quickly.

@Seung Yong Seo I am unable to upload the AutoCAD drawing on flexsim due to the file being more than 25mb but i have cometest-drawing.dwg out with a much-simplified version of it.

I have used 'Er_Small.dwg' and it worked well.

After you save it as AutoCAD 2012 version and then try to import it again.

I can't open your file using my autocad 2012 version.

@Seung Yong Seo

I'm using a student version of it so i cant download AutoCAD 2012 version. I have uploaded my files into google drive, i hoped you would be able to access it.

I also have only 2012 autocad and so I can't support as you want. I introduce your region Singapore distributer David Chan '+65 62089575 info@advent2labs.com'.

Please make him know your issue.

I was able to load the dwg file that you attached. To see it you need to zoom out.

Attached is a model with the view zoomed out so you can see it.

Hello,

When working with FlexSim textures, I’ve found that optimization matters just as much as visual quality. Large or poorly configured textures can slow simulations and affect performance. A similar principle applies to website visibility—structuring assets efficiently improves results over time. I came across https://alfaranker.com/ while reading about optimization strategies, and some of the concepts translate surprisingly well across different platforms.
