My Rhino doesn´t import .ai and .dwg files. I tried to import a file but rhino showed me a grey background and a text: “loading”. nothing else happened.
a friend of mine got the same problem.
here is my OpenGL setting:

I am not able to reproduce this behavior on OS X Mavericks, but I am not testing with the exact same conditions.
Please zip your model(s) and send them to mactech@mcneel.com. I’ll be able to test this tomorrow (Thursday) on a MacBook Pro that is about the same age as yours.
Perhaps by more closely duplicating the conditions I might see this.
Also post your friend’s OpenGL settings. That might also provide a clue.
I have exactly the same computer as your friend that I use for testing. Importing dwg files works fine on that computer running Mavericks.
However, I do not have an external monitor on that computer. Please have your friend unplug his/her external monitor and try again.
I ask again: please send me model(s) that fail. I am trying to eliminate as many differences as possible when trying to duplicate your problem. If you don’t send me models that fail, I will not be able to find the problem.
Lastly, have your friend restart that Mac in Safe Mode. Starting in Safe Mode takes a while, but it keeps any third party extensions and drivers from loading. This is a further attempt to eliminate any differences between what you are testing and what I am testing. I started my MacBookPro4,1 in Safe Mode and was able to import DWG files.
When Rhino imports a DWG file, it reads the file first, and then shows a dialog asking various options of how to convert the DWG file to a Rhino file. Does Rhino show you this dialog and then hang, or does it hang before ever showing the import options dialog?
rhino pops up a window but for a very very short time. i can´t really see what kind of window it is but i think that’s the window you are talking about.
