Importing DWG into Isodraw 7.3

I'm having issues importing a DWG into Isodraw 7.3. We are just looking at migrating off of 7.0 and of course looking at the latest version. First thing we tried was importing a DWG, which is a common task we do. This is the format our electrical schematics and controls drawings are done in.

This is what the Autocad image looks like:

When imported into Isodraw it looks like:

I submitted a PTC ticket on this as well. But if anyone has seen this I'd love to hear from you.

Hello,

Can you attach your DWG file for testing (I use Arbortext IsoDraw 7.1 and 7.2)?

Hai,

First you will covert DWG to AI Format. Then Import Ai to Isodraw 7.3.

AI is the file format for Adobe Illustrator.

I have had problems similar what version of AutoCAD are you using? I found I needed to save everything down to 2010 to get the file to import.
