Import DWG from ACAD --> some stuff is missing

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi,
I would like to import a DWG drawing done by an civil engineer. The problem is while importing Rhino is skipping some important elements, in this case height point information. When I open this in a DWG viewer I can see it:

I am talking about the light green elements:

image319×574 48.5 KB

this is the import dialogue:

image687×1246 125 KB

unfortunately this DWG viewer does not let me export anything… of course it is Autodesk…
can somebody suggest an nice alternative for opening DWG wich is more capable than Rhino ? I would be OK to pay a reasonable amout (<150€).

thanks

Andreas

Hi @walther,
It is probably not part of a “default” .dwg format.
Maybe to create that elevation, you need Civil AutoCAD, Architecture or similar.
Can you attach a .dwg with one of those elevations only?

If it could be read from the file, it might be able to be translated as a multiline leader…

here is the file:
K256-ENG (1).dwg (2.8 MB)

I’ve just opened it in Autocad 2019: Elevation labels are converted to blocks, and some are even missing:

It is probably an element of AutoCAD civil.
Sorry for not being much of a help.

thank you guys for your help!

It’s a Proxy Entity which means it’s created by non-vanilla CAD modules, or plugins, therefore cannot be read by Rhinoceros.
