Hi, i tried to import a dwg file in Archicad, I was able to choose the file from my desktop, even able to see the placing point and size of the file. however, when i press load, i couldnt see the dwg file in my Archicad. Does anyone know how to solve this issue ?

I would guess that the content is really far away from the current zoomed view... do a zoom extents - cmd+' / ctrl+' after placing the dwg.

I kept having this issue. Try changing your renovation filter to ‘Show All’. It’s likely imported the data as New and Archicad is set to Existing or vice  versa.
