Shape crashing when opening an assembly

I do realize Shape is aimed at BIM use, but it can also be used as a viewer for DWG files if I understood correctly. When opening an assembly it throws up an error about BIM and crashes.

Before I file a support request, should Shape be able to open an assembly drawing to just view it or does it simply choke because of the referenced files that are typical for assemblies and therefore cannot be used as a viewer for such files?
