Hi, it may not depend on the size of the file but the supported drawing elements. Currently, annotations, hatches, and texts are not supported in the sketching workspace. Is it possible that your drawing contains some of them?

If you could [share the file](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) with us, I’m happy to have a look at it.
