Go to a elevation or section view, then insert the cad file.

While importing CAD drawings, did you check the option 'Current view only' ?

What you have been told is the correct process. You must be doing something different.

If you go to visibility and graphics-->imported categories, is the box "show imported categories in the view" unchecked??

I had a similar issue. When I imported the DWG into the elevatoin it oriented to view and was nt visible. I went to the level it was placed at and saw that it was placed behind my elevatoin. I simply moved it in plan to be infront of my elevation tag and it showed up. Need to put it on a workset to be sure that it won;t be in any unwanted views. Hope this helps.

You have to be careful here. What you have described is a "model" dwg insertion and you will even see this in 3D. That is why it was workplane dependent. If you uncheck the "visible in all views" box during import, then it becomes a 2D import.

Right you are. I tried again with the current view only box checked and it did pop in properly without need for adjustment. Thanks
