SYMPTOMS
When you convert an AutoCAD Drawing file (*.dwg;*.dwf) in Microsoft Visio, part of the file may be lost during the conversion.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you do the following:
 * 1) You open an AutoCAD Drawing file (*.dwg;*.dwf).

For example, the drawing may contain an object with a hatch boundary that consists of three lines (which form an open-ended box) and a circle positioned so that it is coincident with the two endpoints of the lines. The object is then trimmed, leaving a fully qualified closed boundary, but one that is not a closed PolyLine.
 * 1) You convert the drawing (right-click the CAD drawing object, point to CAD Drawing Object, and then click Convert).
 * 2) During the conversion, you select Delete all DWG layers.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
