Weird grey patch in all imported CAD files

[wisedrawing]

Has anyone seen this in their linked CAD files, it does not matter if I make the CAD file in my suite and import it, or if I use the surveyor CAD file (through mine to rescale) its always there. Obviously its not in the CAD file itself

Strange. Like a watermark. Let's have a look at it.  Post the DWG here.

dwg as export from the revit file back to CAD, I can't seem to select it, it does not appear in the original CAD file only when you link it to Revit and it only shows in revit and then now when I export from revit

Explode and delete it.  

It's a Hatch

That does work but it means I have to load up once, export, explode and reload again? - its very strange

I'm not totally following you, but if you don't want to get rid of it, then turn the Hatch Layer off.  

...also "Object A" Layer.

ha now we are talking

just FYI this is linked not imported so anything I needed to do to the file I have to do outside Revit, I also prefer not to import and explode CAD in Revit. So what I meant was that once I import the CAD then this grey showed up and you are correct if I export to CAD and then explode and then delete and then reload the link it actually does go away, but that seems long a long process for a little bug.

you last idea however fixes it and gave me another little skill for manipulating the linked CAD files

Thanks
