The file name and full path need to be only ASCII.
Looks like https://issues.qgis.org/issues/18576 > Drag from the Browser panel does not seem to work (Invalid layer reported > from GDAL) That's not supported, as drag from browser will attempt to read the DWG directly as a map layer and skip the import process. > The conversion to gpkg is somewhat slow (one file, 7MB took about 25 minutes > to load, and grew to 56MB !) but there's no visual indication that it is > progressing.

What we really need here is to move the import to a background task -- the couple of times I've tried to import DWG I've given up as it looked like the application had locked. I took a quick look at the code and it should be relatively straightforward to move this to a background task. > When opening the DWG Import window, the settings from the previous import are > still there (even if you close and reopen QGIS).

An overwrite warning is definitely necessary! Can you please file a bug report for this?
