Though you use FlexSim Express version(free license), you can import AutoCAD dwg as background. First try to import the default AutoCAD file in your installed FlexSim provided.

The file of 'Er_Small.dwg' name exist in your flexsim directory.

And next, make you a reference in the flexsim manual (Help).

Your autoCAD dwg file has many invalid entities of AutoCAD and they make importing result trouble. If you will upload your dwg file, anyone can help you quickly.

@Seung Yong Seo I am unable to upload the AutoCAD drawing on flexsim due to the file being more than 25mb but i have cometest-drawing.dwg out with a much-simplified version of it.

I have used 'Er_Small.dwg' and it worked well.

After you save it as AutoCAD 2012 version and then try to import it again.

I can't open your file using my autocad 2012 version.

I was able to load the dwg file that you attached. To see it you need to zoom out.

Attached is a model with the view zoomed out so you can see it.
