Summary: I wish there was better differentiation between Import and Link CAD
Description: Too often, users will mistakenly Import CAD when they should be Linking. There should be a better safeguard against using Import. I haven't seen a situation where Import is necessary - Linking has always been the preferred method (but I'm open to hearing about situations where Import is preferred).
And in a related case, in a Family, I would like to be able to Link CAD as well - currently, Import is the only option. Often I will bring in a CAD file while building a family, and would like to cleanly remove the CAD when I'm done. At the moment, I have to thoroughly clean the CAD before Importing, ideally taking it down to solid lines on layer 0, or live with cleaning up the Family after removing the CAD
