Importing AutoCAD files dwg,dxf,dwf via Data panel

Hello,

i have issues importing AutoCAD files via Datapanel. Altough the upload went ok with "Complete" status, the files is showed in the data folder even with a correct thumbnail, i cannot open it in Fusion360. The only context menu i get is  the one below. If i doubleclick, it opens in a web browser F360 Cloud and it is able to show me all the sheets inside, layers, i can pan, zoom etc.. without issues. But cannot open in F360 in any way. I tried also opening from F360Cloud via AutodeskConnector, which opens F360, but i get an error saying: to be able to edit this design, upload via F360 datapanel (which i already do). Also dragging the file from Datapanel to any saved F360 project does not work. 

 

Also opening the files via Autodesk Trueview locally works OK, but i get one warning with missing SHX/L file.

 

I'm confused as the files can be viewed via web browser on the F360 Cloud, so looks like the files are able to be read by Autodesk service, but it does not get somehow converted to be opened in F360.

If you are using a personal license you don't have access to the online translators.

Ah, ok. Then it would be nice to mention this in the Knowledgebase article, or show it somewhere inside the Datapanel Upload dialog, as this information was totally unknown to me.
