Open a simple dwg file without crash

Hello Community

 

I have imported a healthy* dwg 2D file into fusion. The file then appears in my files pane. Now when I open it or also when I "insert into current design" F360 keeps slowing down an crashes later without any warning or error dialogue. Here below you can see, that even a correct preview of said drawing was built, why does the program run into a dead end here nevertheless?

 

Thank you

just from the thumbnail in the image you posted, this does not look like a "simple" drawing to me.  I suspect that there are thousands of 2D entities in this DWG.  Each of these entities are converted to a constrained sketch entity.  So, yes, it is highly likely that this will not perform well as a 2D sketch.  But, that is just a guess, based on a very tiny image.  As @TheCADWhisperer requested, please post the original DWG here so we can take a look at it.  

 

If it is, indeed, a large drawing, is all that detail needed?  Can you reduce it at all?  What do you intend to do with a sketch produced from this DWG?

Hi

 

There are a few lines, but all is 2D. Its a construction drawing of a house, I am not allowed to share.
However, I noticed in onshape it did take some time (around a minute) and then it was able to be used as a sketch. So I am surprised, that fusion has a performance issue here, given that the import already took several minutes.

Second question would be, how to edit and simplify, if it cannot be opened in the first place?

a) if you have access to AutoCAD, you can simplify it there

b) I believe it WILL eventually open, and you can clean it up in sketch.  It will be painful at first, but will get better and better the more stuff you delete

 

If you can share the DWG, we can investigate further.
