Unable to Import DWG

So simple, I know!

Have a bunch of DWG files, trying to import into AC 24, Mac.

Have the DWG add-on.

Tried dragging and dropping the file in, placing external content, and opening directly.

When opening directly AC startup dialog appears and then goes away, no file opens.

DWG files from surveyor.

@ethanbodnar The DWG Export/Save options in AC24 cover the range of Autocad 2000 - 2018. I would assume that the reverse for Import is true, but I can't see a definitive answer. So best guess I would ask the surveyor for the DWG to be compatible with 2018 or earlier.
