Small line appears when importing DWG file

[st]

When importing a DWG file that contains dimensions, a tiny line appears where the dimension's extention lines meet the measured element. The problem with this very small line is that it confuses the Archicad snap and that is why you have to really zoom in in order to avoid snapping to this line! It is very frustrating! Does anyone know how to avoid this?

Might have something to do with the Dimstyle used as I have never run into this issue before, though I do not usually have dimensions turned on. Could you just turn off the dimension layer?

Or even sloppy drafting... Can you check the file in AutoCAD?

If it is appearing in the DWG then I would suspect the problem is coming from the source that created it.

What is it like in the source program?

Or try something like DWG TrueView which will allow you to view the file before you import it into Archicad.

It is independent of the Autocad's dim style and there is no line at all in Autocad!

I know I could turn off the dimensions from the source file although I would rather prefere not to.

The little lines are in a layer called "defpoints".

The does not seem to be anything else in that layer, so you can turn it off in the drawing settings.

I didn't know I could turn off or on some of the imported file's layers from the Archicad itself....!

Thank you all for your quick reply!
