CAD lines in Revit

[rbcameron1]

Does anyone know why when I bring in AutoCAD into Revit (as an insert, not link) and when I go to move the object a bunch of blue lines show up. The autocad file is completely flattened, no 3D. It has been purged. There are only the 0 & Defpoints layers in the file. I've exploded AND converted 742 lines while in Revit.
It feels like its slowing the file down for no reason. Is there a way to avoid this, or get rid of any complication with this feature? Is there a better way I could be doing this?

Normally I avoid CAD into Revit (especially inserted) at all costs, but for the time being this is what it is.

Technique for eliminating CAD info for Revit:

1. Insert CAD file into family
2. Explode CAD dwg
3. Convert all lines to revit lines
4. Copyclip Revit lines to NEW Family file.

I think those lines are Revit trying to figure out all of the possible intersection snaps of all of the tiny little lines in the dwg. Is there any benefit to using the keyboard shortcut for the one snap you need, like SE and SI, or even SO (Snaps Off).

that copy paste into new family worked.
