Any way to track down imported CAD?

Is there any way to find imported CAD drawings in a Revit file other that going to a 3D view and looking for them?

Sometimes people will 'import current view only', then later that view gets deleted. If it is a plan view, you can go to Location > site > duplicate > make current, and the cad file will show up.

Rouge CAD files are always an issue, especially working in large teams and importing detail views from other projects. Oftentimes users are unaware that they have imported a CAD file. I would recommend using a third party add-in to purge these. You will not be able to find them all otherwise. We use Ideate Explorer in our office. It is not as cheap as the add-in posted by Cliff below. however it does let you filter and select all elements within the model. I have personally used this to purge out CAD files.
