DWG Imports are taking wrong origin points for blocks

I’m trying to import blocks but they are moving wrongly to different positions instead the ones on my cad file. It looks like rhino is reading the cad file world origins and re-orienting all the geometry by that instead of reading the origin of every block orientation. Am I missing something?



250515 CHB_2DE V3 PARA RHINO.dwg (2.1 MB)

But when i copy and paste directly from autocad to rhino, the geometry copies and show correctly

I was able to repeat, but i was also able to copy the blocks to a New AutoCad file (meter units) and import that normally.

Are there shared coordinates in that file? Create a new shared coordinate system in AutoCAD with Point Layout | Autodesk

Hi Johan,
I’m experiencing the same issue with imported DWG files and was wondering if you’ve found a solution.

Actually no, I don’t recall solving this. Lately I just copy and paste directly from autocad or open a new file with an .dwg . In fact, I haven’t experienced this in a long time. Maybe post your files so @Japhy could replicate this.

Thank you, direct copy paste works fine. With importing DWG files (also through worksessions) blocks within blocks seemed to be the issue.
I wanted to import through worksessions to protect the layer structure in Rhino, the easiest fix was to save the dwg as a rhino file and attach the rhino file to the worksession.
