Additional Information

This issue was not reproducible in-houseĀ and will not be addressed at this time. If the issue persists, contact Esri Support Services.

Workaround

  • Rescale the CAD drawing from millimeters to meters, and use the MOVE command to place it in a real-world coordinate system where the building actually exists on the surface of the earth.
  • Use earlier versions of ArcGIS Pro (for example, version 3.0.4).
  • Use ArcMap 10.8.2. The DWG file opens smoothly, with no manipulation in ArcMap 10.8.2.
