Archicad 28.0.2 DWG import function missing

Anyone using version 28 experiencing the inability to drag and drop a dwg or add it via. file/external content/place external drawing?

 

When you go the file/ex route and look at the available file formats .dwg is gone.

Hi Laszlo, 

 

I had to do a re-install with a fresh download to get it fixed.

Are you using the full commercial versions of Archicad, or the Start/Solo version?

 

I just looked at my options when I place a drawing and I see this.

@MDunkin,

If you go to the Options > Add-On Manager Dialog, do you see the DWG/DXF Input/Output Add-On listed?

Is there a checkmark next to its name in the Load column? That indicates that the Add-On is loaded into Archicad properly.
