I was able to see your dwg by

1. Clicking the Scale to Model Units button, selecting Feet, and then clicking Scale to meters.

2. Setting the position to X: -2721 Y: -210 Z: 0

If that doesn't work make sure your OpenGL Context setting in Global Preferences isn't Core Profile.

Hi @Aravind K,

You may want to check out our article on graphics compatibility.

Please post back a screenshot of your Help > About FlexSim popup window. It may help us in diagnosing any graphics issues.

Hi @Aravind K,

It appears your driver version 431.70 is almost a year and a half old.

You may have better compatibility after installing the latest driver directly from Nvidia. This one was released on Oct 29 and is currently the latest:

NVIDIA DRIVERS Quadro Desktop/Quadro Notebook Driver Release 450 WHQL

Anyone viewing this post in the future can look up your own latest Nvidia driver version at their regular search page or this advanced search page.

Drivers directly from the hardware vendor (Nvidia in this case) or computer manufacturer (like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, etc) are always newer than what Microsoft delivers automatically via Windows update, so we recommend going directly to the vendors for graphics drivers.

Please let us know if the graphics driver update helps at all.
