Illustrator 28.6, importing .DWG files causes program to crash

I started having the same issue - if I tried to place the dwg file into the illustrator file, it would hang up for a moment and then crash.  I found that if in cad, I copied the linework and text into a new drawing and placed it at 0,0, it works. If you're using a paperspace tab, I'd draw a rectangle around the sheet (24x36, etc...), use CHSPACE and push the rectangle into model space.  Move the rectangle and line work to 0,0 and on the place import settings, tell it to scale to fit artboard.  Hope this helps.
