I can’t import my dwg file from my dropbox folder. No error or anything, but the layer says “This layer is empty or doesn’t contain any supported geometries.”

Kinda frustrating as I paid for pro version.

Seems like a possible corruption in the source file and not a problem with S3D

I tried other files, some layers would be missing and some are the same (does not import anything)
I also tried other versions of dwg and dxf, from LT to 2018.
Tried purging, audit the files I have before importing.
I also tried saving it to files app, where I saw one thread that says it has a bug importing from other apps

Hi Ayman, this could result from different reasons like if the sketch contains unsupported sketch elements (polylines, multilines) or if it’s a 3d sketch(only 2d drawing is supported).
We will like to take a look, please send the file to [support@shapr3d.com](mailto:support@shapr3d.com). We will investigate the file and then get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks. I sent the file to the email provided. I tried exploding the lines. Also layered them in a single layer. But still the same
