Visio does not recognize the file format, if possible save the drawing in
the AutoCAD 2002 format. Note depending on the type of objects in the
drawing you still may run into additional issues.
You cannot open an AutoCAD 2004 .dwg file or a later version of an AutoCAD
dwg file in Visio 2007 and in Visio 2003

It may be the version of AutoCad. What version was the drawing created in?
