Hello @Nikhil Rane,

Were you able to get your DWG to import correctly?

This looks like something @Phil BoBo diagnosed in another post.

In Autocad check how far the lines are from the drawing origin and move them closer/ centred on the origin to give better floating point precision.

Hello @Nikhil Rane,

After deleting a stray line around -200 z and moving the rest of the DWG to the origin, it did load correctly into FlexSim.
