All my survey data is supplied using AutoCAD (2010) drawing files athe surveyor
I have a problem importing AutoCAD drawing elements into MX using the Import Cad Data wizard (DrawingImport.exe).After acknowledging the the (wizard will modify drawing) warning, the wizard does not display and DrawingImport.exeis no longer running (not shown in Task Manager).
No error or other message is shown ,but I have notices that after DrawingImport.exe crashes,many menu items are now greyed out (including Close Project)
I have also tried using the MXConversion toolbar, but this also fails to do anything.
A Support Request was been submitted late last week, but I have yet to receive a reply from Bentley.
Hardware/Software:
Hello Andrew, Will it be possible for you to upgrade the MX version to 08.11.09.904, which is the latest built for MX. The tool is working fine in this built. Please follow the link below demonstrating the same.

Thanks.
I had the same issue and even I installed the latest 08.11.09.904 UK version it's still the same.
Herman,
Even though 09.904 didn't fix the problem, have you found another way to resolve or work around the CAD Import Wizard crashing?
No, I haven't found any work around. Still relied on my old computer. Not sure why it worked on my old one but not the new one. Probably because the old computer window 10 was upgraded from windows 7.
Thanks
Hello Andrew,
Can you please try just to test stop the service “Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service”.
It might creating issues on Windows 10 with MX like also the Browse button on Default model style set.

Hi Herman,
I resolved the issue by installing MXRoad V8i SS2 08.11.07.567 in the same machine. Give a try and advise.I hope you still have the old MX SS2 installer with you as Bentley removed all SS2 version from Software Downloads.You may need Bentley Technical Team to send you direct link to download.
Best Regards,

I didn't think that SS2 and SS4 could co-exist - but are willing to give it a try.I have V8i SS2 Refresh 2 Update 1 (08.11.07.567) in the form of a Cumulative Update (mx081107567en_au_updt1.exe) for build 08.11.07.537. Is this what you mean or are you suggesting the installation of 08.11.07.537 and then the 08.11.07.567 update?
Yes, correct. I tested before and it's works. I installed the SS2, run the MXSS2, and the DrawingImport.exe able to pop-up. Then I close SS2 and open the SS4, and the pop-up works again.Give a try, no harms. If your OS is Win10, then you can install SS2 n SS4 in same machine.

Glad it works. Cheers.
