Import Content crashes on SR24 when importing any DWG file

It seems Rhino SR24 crashes when using Import Content component in Grasshopper, picking any DWG file and pressing/initiating the import.

Hi Tuomas,

Can you run SystemInfo and post the result.

I can’t repeat in 8.25.25287.15431. Does this happen if you start Rhino 8 in Safe Mode as well? (sans 3rd party plugins)

Here is the SystemInfo:

Yes, it happens with Safe Mode too. I pretty much enabled all the plugins in Safe Mode whenever it asked for it. But also if I only enable the native plugins, it crashes.

I rolled back to 8.24 and seeing the same thing. Going to test the latest again before making any recommendations.

Sending you a link to rhino_en-us_8.25.25293.17001 en, which is working as expected in this regard.

Same issue, dwg import in large usage. Could please provide link to SR20 or to rhino_en-us_8.25.25293.17001 en?

Yeap same issue. Any idea when fix is coming?

Based on what Japhy wrote, the current public Service Release Candidate should work for you:

-wim

Thanks for the info @wim ! It is available from Rhino 8 app as release candidate. I prefer to use official releases :slight_smile: So back to SR20 if installation package is available :slight_smile:

This official release is recommended.

I updated from SR20 to SR24 –> reason why I was asking SR20 installation link…:see_no_evil_monkey:

We hope the next Service Release will be published soon, as we are unable to use the candidate versions.
