CAD not appearing in Dynamo

When I try to import a CAD DWG file into Dynamo, the DWG doesn’t appear, even though I’ve created nodes for ‘Select Model Element’ and ‘CAD.CurvesFromCADLayers’. Dynamo runs the script successfully, but the DWG isn’t visible. How can I resolve this issue?

Hello @ihatetomatoes and welcome to the forum :wink: do you mean in Dynamo preview ? if so have you tried zoom in ?

hello and thank you. yes i have zoomed in and switched on and off the preview, but still it doesnt appear

allright not sure then…does it work if you feed your importinstance into a element.geometry node ?

I’m sorry, i dont quite understand.

For your info, i am using Dynamo for Revit :slight_smile:

yes i assume that :wink: :wink:

this is how it looks like. there is error

which revit version are you in ?

I am using Revit 2022, and Dynamo v2.16.2. i am sorry for asking too many questions

no worries :wink: nobody can ask to many questions regard Dynamo ;)…could you share that cad ? and i can check if i have the same issue

ooh no i cant seem to share documents as im a new user

ok just upload you file, to filetransfer, webtransfer etc…and share the link here

here is the link. thank you :slight_smile: Data package from August 8th. - FileTransfer.io

your sample works fine here in 2024…not sure whats wrong …if it not a zoom

OMG! How did you do that? Is it something wrong with my Dynamo settings? I think my Dynamo settings are set to default though

Sir, i manage to find the CAD. I really had to zoom out so far… but how do i fit the cad into grid? because my dynamo grid is so tiny

The reason for that is you cadlink is very far away from origin…not sure i understand what you mean with grid

Oh sorry, for example like this image, the cad is on the grid. But mine is not
