I've converted everything to Revit lines, and Revit text styles, and the view is still quite large.

Mon, at 7:16:14 PM | Crop Region in Drafting View Just clean up the CAD - better yet, revitize it, especially legacy details that you might use again. You really should not import large DWG's and mask (or crop region them if it was available).

Wed, at 3:51:03 AM | Crop Region in Drafting View It's definitely not un-workable, but seems to me a crop region tool for drafting views would be quite beneficial. Not to mention the messiness that comes along with excessive masking regions in a view. This becomes annoying while trying to select the correct view. However, this has the undesirable side-effect of creating a drafting view with a over-sized (potentially vastly over-sized) pick box - ie the area that becomes highlighted when you roll over the view on a sheet. WWHub is correct to point out that masking regions can be used to "mask" unwanted portions of detail components in drafting views. Tue, at 5:38:22 PM | Crop Region in Drafting View That's what masking regions and the breakline masking region is used for. or you have an imported detail element that you don't want to show all of. oh - did you mean you drew something too far (don't do that). What is there to crop? There is no model elements. Tue, at 4:40:39 PM | Crop Region in Drafting View Really wish revit would update the new version to do this.
