Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

I'm fairly new to OnShape so I'm trying new things. I made a vector file in illustrator, saved it as an SVG, and then converted it to DXF. When I brought it into Onshape it tells me that this operation cannot complete because it creates geometry that is beyond the system limit. The image I brought in is massive compared to my work plane but there are a gazillion dots stretched out all over the screen. Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Probably some issue with the export to .svg or conversion to .dxf along the way.
Is this too complex too sketch directly in Onshape?
It looks like at some point the curves got switched from being splines to being a series of arcs, otherwise I don't understand all the points off in space. My guess is that the airfoils and other curves are converted to arcs which is creating all those center points.
You can export DXF files directly from Illustrator and make sure you don't convert to polylines.

Thanks guys. I'll check those things out. The issue is not really if it's too hard. I'm really just learning and am trying to figure all this out incase I wanted to import a logo or name in a cursive font or something like that. I didn't know that you could export as a dxf file. I'm gonna have to try that. Thanks a lot S1mon! Thanks David!
