CAD/DWG Not Showing in ArcPro

We have a developer sharing a CAD file and no layers are showing in GIS. I told the engineer ArcPro reads CAD files, showed several working, but they still believe it’s a GIS issue.

It was originally created in Civil 3D. It’s since been resaved in several different versions with the same result. I mentioned paper space versus model space, and they say it’s in model space.

I don't work in CAD and completely lost as to why this particular dwg shows no layers in GIS.

The CAD file opened correctly in ArcPro 3.4.2. We were using 3.1.7. I don't know why or how it works in 3.4 and not 3.1, but it works and we can complete the project. 

Note: after opening the DWG in a viewer we noticed it was missing XREFs.

Thank you for the help, everyone.
