When importing large DXF or DWG, very often Microstation SE does not
answer.

Is this due to some limitation in the size of importable files or to
some error in the DXF/DWG ?

I encounter problem with a file about 3 MB. The reading of the DXF or
DWG is very fast, but after having pressed the "Open" button,
Microstation does not answer.

Thanks for any help.

some possibilities-
- a LARGE number of pattern blocks are being converted to individual cells
or dropped to their components on import - turn on 'Use Shared Cells' in
your translation seedfile.
- imported 'solid' shapes are actually stroked w/ individual lines - IIRC
there's also a translation dlog option for this.
- not enough pagefile space on your computer will also cause uStn SE to hang
during translation.
