I am trying to use the AutoCAD import addon to import a DWG file, and this errors out with "UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 227: character maps to <undefined>".
I opened the dwg file in Notepad++ and I can see that the header starts with "AC1032" which is the latest version of DWG files.
The full system console output is:
