      Hello,

      I've got some problems with a DWG file which I imported into Skecthup 7.

      I imported the file and want to place it on a surface but when I do so the autocadfile doesnt stay totally visible when I move the camera around, it starts flikkering around.
      The imported Autocad file and the surface in Skecthup are both exactly level.

      I imported dwg files before but never ran into this problem, does anybody know how I can resolve this?

      Thanks

        Sketchup doesn't handle large coordinates very well. That means problems when you import from DWG where things are very far from Origin - especially if it's drawn in real world coordinates.

        When importing a DWG copy what you need to a new DWG file and move everything near Origin.

        Note that blocks with insertion point set far away from the geometry will also behave badly - you need to adjust the insertion points for these as well.
