Explode CAD without importing metadata

[DanielKP2Z9V]

Importing CAD to project is notorious for loading a lot of unwanted metadata (e.g. line styles, patterns).

Could there be a version of import button that doesn't do that? For example turning all lines to a chosen line style, all text to a chosen text type, etc.?

Sure there could. Please submit a wish list item for the desired functionality in the Revit Idea Station. Whenever you require a new or enhanced Revit product or Revit API functionality, the Revit Idea Station is the place to go. Please search there for a corresponding wish list entry for the suggested functionality and add your comments to it, or create a new one, if none already exists:

Ensuring that a wish gets as many votes as possible helps underline its importance to you and the rest of the  community. The Revit Idea Station is currently one of the main driving input forces for Revit API enhancements. The Revit development team looks there. Your comment here in the discussion forum might be overlooked. Thank you!
