Can't select a window and move it in elevation view

Can't select a window and move it in elevation view. Each time I can only select the imported CAD file. See the attached.  After removing the CAD file, it works OK and normal (I mean I can move the window). Is there any solution that I can move the window without removing the CAD file? Thanks in advance.

Is the Window a Revit Element?  

 

Post your RVT and Link File here.  

 

Almost sounds like to have Aligned and Locked the Window to Link linework.  Select Window and see if there are any padlocks appearing?

Can't select window so no padlock.

See the attached file. Sheet S400. View 4/S400.

I would turn to wireframe and then you can select the window

Why don't you use the Selection Filters that I mentioned above. Maybe pin the CAD and deselect Select Pinned Objects.  Then do a crossing window selection to pick the Window and move it.
