      Hi all !!!
      Trying to export in .DWG i have this error message. Then,using DWG true view, it takes forever to open and i can barely do whatever. I suppose i got much more polys than i should but why that same drawing is pretty responsive in SU ?
      Should not is be as fast in cad viewer ?

        Ok, I gave it a shot and here is what I found out. Your original file with all of those scenes was not working well. I was able to import the dwg into AutoCAD 2020 but it was a hog and slow to use. I deleted all of the scenes and saved to a 2018 SU file and used AutoDesk's free SU import utility and it's smooth as silk now. The dwg files grows from a 45 mg skp to a 86.5 mb dwg. Not sure on what your end result is on this.

          So, from what i understand, i would have to have autoCAD in order to download that plugin. I only have
          autodesk DWG TrueView wich is free. Is there an other way to do ? Or would you be kind enough to send me your result ?

          Thanks for your time anyway Glen at Home !

          Appreciate
