Zhang,

There is document in the folder to teach you how to prepare ACAD file for Flexsim. Please search for it. Generally
1. Make sure your ACAD file is 1:1.
2. Set the reference of the drawing to the system 0,0,0
3. Make sure to remove all unnecessary layers, text, dimension and others so that your drawing could be "light" as possible.
4. Use Visual Tool to import.
5. Play around with the SX, SY and SZ to get the drawing. Generally if you set 0.01 for all three and you should be able to see your drawing.
