View Full Version : 2012 CAD file making my views appear as wireframe?

I'm working on a large factory with an owner-provided CAD file of the building layout and equipment. This is a crazy huge CAD file, over 30 MB in size, with various block elements that extend well over 20 MILES in the up/down Z direction.

Whenever I create a section or elevation, the view appears as wireframe, despite being set to hidden line. As soon as I turn off or hide the CAD linked file, the view appears correctly as hidden line.

Why would such a thing be affected by this CAD file? I'm guessing the massive vertical extents have something to do with it. :roll:
