Otherwise, just open the cad file with SW and follow the steps. It will ask you whether you want to put it in a drawing or a part (it is going to appear as a sketch then).

because the layout is so large with many layers, it bogs down the sys when copying and pasting into a part file

In ACAD turn off the layers you do not want to import to SW. In SW, create new part, select plane, go to Insert/DWG DXF, browse to DWG.
