Oh, just the usual bs with Autodesk's so-called intelligent entities, 
parametric building assemblies and the like, that get replaced with 
"proxy objects" when saved down to early AutoCAD formats.  Things 
disappear, objects behave strangely (such as not being able to be copied 
and pasted into other drawings), etc.  This particular Revit model I was 
talking about was simply too detailed for its own good and was bogging 
down my system.   In general I find that 300MB drawings will do that.  
;-)  It was so slow that weeding out the extraneous polygons was simply 
taking too long.
