Hi everyone, it’s my first time writing in the forum, but I’ve been using it for solving issues for years. Thanks to the community, you’re doing a great job
I’m having an issue when importing dwg files.
I have a dwg file with blocks inside blocks inside blocks…
When I import it to Rhino, I can only see elements on the first block, but not the blocks inside the block
I’ve tried with a new file and a very simple block inside block and I have the same issue
This must be something new because I’ve been working with CAD-Rhino for years and I think I’ve never had this issue… Could it be some bug on the latest release or maybe some settings in rhino?
I couldn’t try it with Rhino 6 since I don’t have a license now, but I’ve tried Rhino 8 WIP to check if I have the same problem and it works completely fine
Then I saved it to rhino 7, open it in rhino 7 and everything is working, so I guess there’s a bug on the dwg import in the latest updates of rhino 7
Meanwhile I’ll keep using rhino 8 to import the dwg files and avoid this problem
Hi @gustavofigueiraserra,
I have tested the issue of Rhino not importing DWG/DXF with nested block correctly RH-73280.
Like you I have found that it is fixed in Rhino 8 SR0 2023-4-9 (Rhino WIP, 8.0.23099.14305)
I have also found it is fixed in Win Rhino 7 SR29 2023-4-3 (Rhino 7, 7.29.23093.19001).
Try setting your update frequency in Rhino 7 to the Release Candidate, which is now Sr29.
Sr38 is the public download and it will not find the fixed there.
Let us know if Rhino 7 Sr29 WIP gets it working for you.
If not type SystemInfo in Rhino and post the results.
Also open the DWG block, and send me a screen capture or what it looks like on your computer. Nested issue.dwg (28.3 KB)
@gustavofigueiraserra
Thanks for the details.
We are hoping that sr29 will be available as the release candidate later today.
I will let you know when I hear it is available for download.
The Rhino 7 release candidate Sr29 WIP is now available…
Go to Options → Updates and Statistic and set the Update Frequency to :Release Candidate.
This will now download the expected version Sr29, and not Sr28 which is already the public version.
If you import DWG/DXFs into Rhino and your AutoCAD models contain blocks or may contain blocks, (more specifically nested “block with in blocks”) it is recommend that you run the Rhino 7 Sr29 Release candidate until May 9, when Sr29 should become the public version.
Please reply with any additional questions.
And let us know if this is working better for you.
