Import CAD bug with version 25.1

Question

Since update 25.1, as soon I import CAD drawing inside Illustrator, I cannot modify/save my CAD files because Illustrator continues to use it. I have to shut down Illustrator (not just the .AI file) to be able to modify/save my CAD files and it's frustrating and take a lot of time.

I don't know how to say that but it seem to be the import function is more like a "link" instead a "copy file". It's new since update 25.1, I didn't have this problem before, for many years.

I use PC (Windows 10) and Illustrator 2021.

I tried to be clear as possible (english it's not my primary language).

Thank you

Benoit

Please describe what exactly is happening step by step.

You are closing the file, but Illustrator still uses it?

You can use your primary language there is a translation service available on the forum. It will only fail when you mix languages in one post.
