Specify placement level of linked CAD

[cbt990]

Why can't this be changed?

[ToanDN]

Because you are not placing it in a floor plan view.

Meaning the drawing was originally a site plan rather than floor plan? 

[ToanDN]

No. The revit view, what is it?  And don't activate view on sheet to place DWG, open the view directly to do it 

[cbt990]

Floor plan.

I linked it into the project at a different view without experiencing the issue and then changed the host level to the desired floor plan.
