CAD drawing invisible

Hello,

I am having a problem when uploading my CAD (.dwg) file as a ModelBackground. When uploaded it just appears as an invisible box.

My file has been scaled and moved to the origin, and I have also tried changing the OpenGL Context in FlexSim as others have suggested on here. Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks

Hi @Robert F2,

Your layout is there, but quite far out:

I've scaled and moved the layout in the attached model so that your layout is near the origin. This might help you play with your values to get the layout where you want. I didn't attempt to find your scale and modify properly, so you'll definitely need to tweak the size and position values.
