I am working in Sketcup make 2015 and downlaoded he TECLA import DWG plugin.

Have you downloaded its latest RBZ ?
Have you also installed the app it needs do the processing ? -
Did you install the Teigha File Converter?
Your profile indicates you have SketchUp Pro which already has DWG import capability.

That's a somewhat ironic error from a line that is trying to tell you that the plugin requires SU 2016 or later, but the code to show that message tries to use a Language Handler object (LH) that is only initialized if you already have 2016 or later! If your profile is correct and you are running SketchUp v7 or if, as your post says you are running SU 2015, you can't use this extension.

Good catch, Steve.

I've been helping another user over on the Sketchup.com forum, and I had to get familiar with the source code for this extension to sort out the issues (I'm not the author). I fixed a couple of bugs that kept it from running on Mac (I don't have a Windows PC, so I don't know whether the fixes were also needed there). In this case the author obviously never tried running it on SU < 2016 so wasn't aware that the trap was mis-coded!
TIG packaged my changes into the version on the SketchUcation plugin store.
