Select all layers in the CAD and do a FLATTEN operation.

Then try importing.Most likely the issue will get resolved.

I tried with this also. But issue remains as it is.

Submit a private question to Flexsim U.S and share your CAD with them to check the issue.

You could also try setting the origin of the layout to be within or close to the elements you show - it could be some rounding of the values is occurring due to the location values being large.
