ArcGIS crashes when opening multiple cad dwg files

Question

ArcGIS crashes when opening multiple cad dwg files. How do we fix it?

To recreate this issue. Open up another dwg file within ArcGIS for AutoCAD resulting in 2 dwg files in AutoCAD.

Switch between each dwg by clicking on the tab identifying each drawing. Then it will crash. See attached photo of the error.

As a work around I am trying to run a separate instance of ArcGIS for AutoCAD. It will still crash sometimes. We have been losing unsaved work so I advised several of my colleagues to save often.

Version of AutoCAD: 2017

Nothing out of sorts in the supported list?

Any update for this as getting exactly the same issue in AutoCAD Map 3D 2017.

Also, we have installed AutoCAD Map 3D 2018 to attempt to resolve this only to encounter a 'No valid version of AutoCAD found' error?

Apologies for my explanation. Testing on two brand new blank drawings does not crash. It could be the drawing I am working with. I have audited the cad file with zero errors. I could possibly be data issues.

Thanks.
