How to turn off "X"s

I received a file that was converted to dwg format from another software. When I import it into ArchiCAD, it comes with these "X"s at all intersection points.
Please see attached for the image and let me know how I can turn off the "X"s, thanks.

Have you identified their layer and make up? Are they Hotspots or lines? You may be able to use find & select to single them out if they are not digitally tied together as part of an object, they can then be deleted or moved to a hidden layer.

Based on my historic knowledge of DWG they may be associated with dimensions, so check that you don't delete hidden dimensions you want to keep!

If they are in their own layer you can turn it off or delete it.
If they are 'hotspots' then activate the hotspot tool and press CTRL+A to select all the hotspots and then delete.

it looks like they are part of the dimensions. If i delete the dimensions, they the "X"s get turned off. Thanks.
