Can you merge it into a clean new file?
Lets figure out if this is a problem with the file itself or with the Drawing Tool.

I can do it in a new file (New and Reset) and it happens with different dwg's.
When I open it with a new file (New and Reset), I can copy and paste it into the file where I want it.
Thanks.

I would still send this issue to Graphisoft. There must be something going on with the file or with DWG/DXF handling.
You can report it through your reseller or you can send a support package.

To me, the crashing only occurs when I have my renovation filters set to Override existing, demo, or new elements. If they are at default settings which is Show or Hide, I don't experience any crashes. There may be more specifics within the Override setting (i.e. it only crashes with this box checked/unchecked) but I haven't taken the time to test it further. I just avoid the Override setting until it's fixed hopefully in the next hotfix.

This has been a real annoying bug because we rely a lot on AutoCAD files for references and by using Xref or merging data into the files, it brings a boatload of unwanted layers if not managed properly.

With no overrides the same PMK's and DWG's were placed with zero crashes.
Tested in several locations, on multiple machines, both Teamwork and PLN.
This is really a killer bug which needs to be fixed ASAP
cheers,
owen

.. if any renovation filter is set to Override there is 100% a crash on placement.
