We have the same issue - Sketchup 8 Pro crashes when TRYING to import a .DWG file. BUT - I think the issue is related to Sketchup accessing windows 7 explorer folders that have .DWG files within it. That is when the BUGsplat crash actually occurs. We can't even get to the point of selecting the .dwg file - sketchup crashes EVERY time on ALL of our work stations. We own 5 Pro licenses via network. Our PC computers very in configurations but are all Windows 7 64 bit with no plugins installed. Although we have reinstalled Sketchup 8 cleanly multiple times, we can replicate this crash reliably when accessing network drives, sometimes importing from local drive works. Any help would be appreciated as this crash has crippled us over the last few months. As a work around we have been resorting to re installing Sketchup 6 and importing Dwg files as Skethchup 6 Pro is very stable. Can anyone help us?
