Instead of another floor you should place it in a Worksheet and use Trace/Ref.

It looks like you are using the Trace/Ref wrong.
- Place the DWG in a Worksheet
- Go to the Floor Plan were you want to Trace
- Use the Trace/Ref palette to show in the floor plan the worksheet. In that way you will be able to snap to the DWG but you will not be able to select it.

Turn the reference off and it will not show.
Still I have no idea of what you are trying to accomplish here. The while point of having a DWG as a trace/ref is to be able to snap to it and the original question implied that you were selecting the DWG by mistake. If you need it as a visual reference only then it would be easier to use a PDF or JPG or any other image formats.
If I understand you can use the trace reference palette to switch to another view to use reference look for the browse for reference option in top right if I remember correctly.
