Import large .dwg file into Fusion

Anonymous — Mon, 17 Jun 2019 15:23:50 GMT

So, I have this 5MB .dwg file, that I want to open in Fusion 360.

This does not seem to be possible.

I have a (to my idea) decent laptop, tried all these things to improve performance and still am unable to open my file.

Is there a maximum to what I can upload?

What Fusion shows: A blank page, with the open/thinking-bar on the downright corner, and it blinks white and black over the browser field every like 30 seconds or so. The thinking-bar does not show much, sometimes nothing, sometimes stand-still green fields. If I hover my mouse it shows the Windows-circle and if I click anything, Fusion is called unresponsive.

I have got this file externally and have allready had trouble getting it in the .dwg extention, have only Fusion to work with. Is there any viewer or so I could download to split the big .dwg and help the uploading? Or could I do other things to get the file opened?

What is the purpose of the image that you attached?

Can you attach image of the actual dwg? https://viewer.autodesk.com/

Can you provide link to the dwg on your A360 drive?

Ehhr... didn't really have a plan with that picture actually, only a hope that the blak bar would tell you something.

Anyways, I have tried to upload the .dwg or the fusion design it makes from it into the viewer, but this totally fails...

Before I got the .dwg I recieved an .stp file (700mb), which I also didn't get to open in Fusion. It does not upload either, it ends the upload progress bar and then just simply sais "Failed".

I did however get it into the viewer, the thing looks like this:

I could share my file privately, but I am not able to put it on this forum just to stay here forever. I could share the .stp and the .dwg.
